Manifesta is 10!
For us, it's hard to believe that it's been a decade since Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future was published. The first book by Soapbox co-founders Amy Richards and Jennifer Baumgardner, it literally spawned Soapbox by enabling the two to travel the country speaking to audiences of students, activists, and feminists. To celebrate the March 2010 publication of a ten-year anniversary edition, Jen and Amy will be touring the country, stopping at places like Allegheny College (March 2), U-Mass Dartmouth (April 30), and events in New York City at the Sackler Center(March 20) and 92 Street Y-Tribeca(April 21).
Announcing: Feminist Summer Camp, June 2010

featured speaker:
marcia ann gillespie
Popular Soapbox speaker Marcia Ann Gillespie is touring (and getting raves) for her speech about moving mountains. Using personal stories and examples from recent history and current events, she illustrates how our sense of ourselves and our view of others has and still is being affected by mountains of stereotypes, lies and distortions, racist mountains, homophobic mountains, patriarchal mountains—mountains that give privilege to some of us while disadvantaging others. She tackles the difference between climbing mountains andremoving them, and why we must do both to make the great promise of America ever more tangible for all of her people.
What's New?
