Lisa Jervis, Andi Zeisler, and PP's own Anne Elizabeth Moore head on out to the Hideout in Chicago (1354 W Wabansia Chicago IL 60622) to read from BITCHFEST, their ten-year collection of writings pulled directly from the pages of the magazine. Also: burlesque dancers!
Modern Times Bookstore says: In the wake of Sassy and as an alternative to the more staid reporting of Ms., Bitch was launched in the mid-nineties as a Xerox-and-staple zine covering the landscape of popular culture from a feminist perspective. BITCHfest offers an assortment of the most provocative essays, reporting, rants, and raves from the magazine's first ten years, along with new pieces written especially for the collection. Smart, nuanced, cranky, outrageous, and clear-eyed, the anthology covers the recent history of feminist pop-culture critique with an arrow toward feminism's future.
