"What you hold in your hands is a lethal weapon. Revolutionary
Women: A Book of Stencils is a threat to the status quo and a
dangerous wake-up call to every person who has ever dared to think
for themselves. ... I believe the words and art in this book have
the power to mobilize a revolution. Rise up and let's join them
now!"
--Wendy-O Matik, author of Redefining Our Relationships: Guidelines
for Responsible Open Relationships "This book cunningly uses the
modern style of stencilling to make icons of some key figures in
feminist movement. Readers are invited to spread their images
across t-shirts, walls, and pavements to let the world know who
really deserves to be remembered."
--Gareth Shute, author of Hip Hop Music in Aotearoa "The beauty and
simplicity of message is stark in this zine. It is lovingly earnest
with its handcrafted cut and pastes. The snippets are well-worded,
the quotes cleverly chosen. The silhouettes of fearless females are
striking. Overwhelmingly, one is left with a sense of the near
universal absence of images of revolutionary women. From now on,
every time I see a Che Guevara portrait, I will wonder about his
many, unheralded and invisible sisters."
--Karlo Mila, author of Dream Fish Floating "What an amazing
creative way to magnify, and illuminate the courage of 30 Sheroes
whose courage, leadership and character is symbolic of the many
unsung Women Sheroes of past and present."
--Emory Douglas, Former Black Panther Party Member, Revolutionary
Artist & Minister of Culture
