What a week we’ve had. It started with an incredibly fun party at King’s Books for our book release. Dead Feminists fans arrived in awesome costumes, filling the bookstore with Fridas, some Zimmermans, Georgia O’Keeffe, Harriet Tubman, Babe Zaharias, Rosie the Riveter, Woodrow Wilson and John Stuart Mill and lots of Live Feminists. Victoria Woodhull (aka sweet pea, the owner of King’s Books) presided over the event, remaining on fairly good terms with the Susan B. Anthonys, despite their historic friction.
Susan B. and Elizabeth Cady Stanton (aka Jessica & Chandler) signed piles of books, and especially enjoyed hearing about gifts intended for cool feminist grandmothers or soon-to-be-born feminists. Many, many thanks to Northwest Costume and especially Ricky German, who costumed us with aplomb then arrived as Harriet Tubman; to sweet pea, Raissa and Kenny for their excellent book wrangling; to friends who waited patiently in line to join us in celebration, to our editor Hannah from Sasquatch Books, and photographer Eli Gandour-Rood.
This was just the first of many events to come, in Tacoma, Seattle, Portland, and other places throughout the Northwest and beyond. If you’d like to join us this fall, check out our events page!
