During these times of necessary change, I am proud to be a part of this anthology Menopause: a comic treatment, releasing this week.

With 25 contributions from diverse and powerful women, we take back this taboo topic, reject the colonization of our bodies, and speak truth to power.  These reviews from Booklist and Publishers Weekly agree!                                                      

If you are free, Thursday August 20th, there is a virtual launch party at Chicago’s beloved Women and Children First Bookstore.  You can order the book from them or from Penn State Press (they have a link for international orders on their site), from your favorite independent bookstore, or from Bookshop an online service that supports independent bookstores.

Please join the boycott of Amazon, long in motion among writers but now more essential than ever as the uprising and pandemic demand that we all reframe how we use money. Amazon bargains enrich the elite while hurting workers, part of the systemic anti-black and brown racism embedded in today’s global order. Spending to change this unjust social order and to save the planet brings new layers of meaning to each transaction. In that spirit, the money I received for my contribution to this volume has gone directly to the National Domestic Workers Alliance  and to E.A.T. .  Consider a gift to them as well!
