Is your mailbox lacking in feminist intellectual discourse? Then consider subscribing to LIBER: A Feminist Review, created by Jennifer Baumgardner, of Manifesta and Dottir Press fame. Half feminist essays, half reviews of books by women, each issue of this bimonthly print mag contains thoughtful articles on subjects such as transgender identity, race, feminist literary criticism, pop culture, reproductive rights, and fiction, alongside 10 or so in-depth book reviews. Less academic than a journal, but more challenging than a glossy, LIBER, with its cheeky backbone graphic replacing the “i” in its logo, delivers substantive feminist content at a time when opinions are most often delivered in anemic, 280-character sound bites.
