Verb Ally
This is an “unofficial” member of the Dead Feminists broadsides series, an original letterpress print created to commemorate our book winning a 2018 Pacific Northwest Book Award. Verb Ally reprints the ten action words that comprise the ten chapters of our book, Dead Feminists: Historic Heroines in Living Color. These ten action words unite the 27 women featured in the book, describe our collaborative process as artists, and light the path forward as we navigate these times of political challenges and social strife.
Half of the words and borders were hand-lettered by Chandler, while the other half were handset from wood and metal type and ornaments by Jessica. Together they represent our collaborative process by blending and blurring different design and printing techniques.
To continue our mission of helping women and girls take action in their own communities, half of the proceeds of this print go to the Dead Feminists Fund.
