> Some notes on Feminist Europa. Review of Books:
>
> Have you ever wondered what happens in the rest of
> Europe, outside of your own
> country and in languages you do not command? Our aim
> is to facilitate
> awareness of the productivity and debates within
> women`s studies across
> linguistic and cultural barriers in Europe, drawing
> on an extensive pool of
> scholars and activists committed to transcultural
> and transnational
> discourse. We host publications that have an impact
> on women`s culture and
> deserve to be known outside their local context; we
> foster the flow of
> information across national borders and language
> boundaries.
>
> Feminist Europa. Review of Books is a unique project
> dedicated to
> transnational communication and committed to the
> creation of a new Europe,
> a Europe in which, i.e., feminists in France are
> perfectly aware of the
> discourse articulated by feminists in Ukraine, and
> communities in Seville
> can build networks with scholars in Sarajevo and
> activists in London.
>
> Feminist Europa. Review of Books has published
> reviews with the prime aim
> of giving voice to the widest possible number of
> countries represented; our
> editorial board already includes a number of nations
> and constantly seeks
> new contributors from other languages and cultures.
> The first issue in our
> new series published by the German Foundation for
> Gender Studies features
> reviews from eight different countries and includes
> an impressive variety
> of topics ranging from a long review of books on
> Female Genital Mutilation
> to several books dealing with gender in
> Nazi-occupied Europe, with issues
> of ethnic identity, women in business, as well as
> our page Profiles devoted
> to the presentation of a woman writer.
>
> Feminist Europa. Review of Books can greatly profit
> from the contributions
> offered by the networking community that the journal
> aims at creating. Our
> policy since the beginning has supported the
> presentation and diffusion of
> individual works and has encouraged reviewers to
> shape their contributions
> in different and personal ways. We believe that a
> community of women must
> speak in different voices and aim at offering a
> forum in which they can all
> find a place and a fruitful occasion for exchange
> and communication.
