I'm a feminist because...

Call For Submissions

Hey everyone!  I’m back at school, nestled in my lovely feminist community, but the past two weeks have been a flurry of getting settled in, getting a photography internship, and being busy, busy, busy.  As I try to work in some photoshoots with feminists I know here, it would be great to feature some submissions from you all!

Please check out the submission guidelines page for more info, and send something in!

Thanks,
Hannah

Hi everyone!

Short version:

1. Thank you for the support!
2. Posting will be slow until school starts back in January, so
3. Submissions are highly encouraged!

Long version:

First of all, we’re thankful for all of the attention this has gotten so far!  We weren’t expecting many people to be interested, but it seems that you all do, in fact, like the page.

Winter break just started, so we’re at our respective homes and haven’t been working on the page. However, we’re recruiting friends and family to participate, and once the semester starts up, we should be posting regularly.

On submitting, and the “why” behind this tumblr: It’s not really about defining feminism. It’s about defining why we identify with it.  It’s about working with feminism and challenging ourselves to be better, even when we mess up.  It’s about solidarity. It’s about showing the world that there isn’t one reason to be feminist. It’s about showing them that there are as many reasons to be feminist as there are feminists. We hope to gain perspective through your submissions, so feel free to answer in whatever way feels right- even if someone else had already done it, even if it seems silly or basic. As long as it’s legible on a half sheet of poster board, go for it. We LOVE submissions!  Hannah prefers higher-quality photos (it’s the photographer in her), but please submit even if you don’t have a fancy camera laying around. See our submission guidelines for more info. 

Finally, we love feedback.  Feel free to submit to our ask box or email Hannah at hcreed@g.cofc.edu or Meredith at mporter@g.cofc.edu.

Please send Hannah an email if you live in the following areas and would like to participate:
- Greenville, SC, Asheville, NC, or Raleigh, NC (before January 7, 2012)
- Charleton, SC (sometime after mid-January 2012)

Please send Meredith an email if you live in the Columbia, SC area and would like to participate before the 3rd of January. On the off chance you’re in Europe next semester, Meredith will be studying abroad and may be able to meet up. 

Thank you again, and wishing all of you a joyful holiday season.

Meredith and Hannah
