Welcome to Trivia: Voices of Feminism, issue 7/8
For a whirlwind tour of our site, first check out our current issue, "unabashed Knowing." If you’re intrigued, next try the TRIVIA archives, which is divided into two sections. In the first section, Trivia: Voices of Feminism, you'll be able to read the first five issues of our online journal, in their entirety. In the second section, Trivia: A Journal of Ideas, you'll find a list of authors and titles for each of the 22 issues of /Trivia/ published from 1982 to 1995, with information on how to order.
This is unabashed Knowing climbing into bed with you,
putting its hands around your throat and squeezing
until your heart bursts open and its pieces
scatter over the world like petals.
Martina Newberry, “Bad Manners”
In this long-awaited double issue you will find thundering outrage, piercing cries from the heart, and a courageous facing-off against the insidious forces of Unknowing. You will also find powerful and diverse voices of healing. Taken together, the material in this issue suggests that unabashed Knowing is itself the beginning of all true healing.
Please note that “Are Lesbians Going Extinct?” which was to have been our next issue, will now appear in September of 2009 and be co-edited by Betsy Warland. Issue #9, “Thinking about Goddesses,” co-edited by Hye Sook Hwang, will appear in February of 2009. Please see our calls for submissions for more information about these forthcoming issues.
