Waiting for The Wind to blow

"The wind" was a favorite metaphor of Mary Daly's. She used it to describe a powerful force of nature and of the spirit that helped her achieve her true goals in life. In Oklahoma we have a different kind of wind, one that comes as part of powerful storms, and tonight many of us stayed home because a hailstorm/rainstorm/possible-tornado has been predicted.

As for the rest of us, we experimented with starting the Mary Daly Zine. Kathy got the idea from a project that her sister worked on. If you want to know more about feminist 'zines, check out the Grrrl Zine Database or the zine collection at grassrootsfeminism.net.

We also watched the trailer for a fascinating film about the feminist art magazine Heresies, which published between 1977 and 1992. We're hoping that a local feminist group will purchase the film and show it so that we can all see it.

The Wind works in mysterious ways. Below you will find a drawing that could appear in our zine. If you would like to know more about the zine, you can always come to our next meeting.
