Dead Feminists
Dead Feminists: Historic Heroines in Living Color | Chandler O'Leary, Jessica Spring
"Providing a new and illuminating look at 27 women who've changed the world, Dead Feminists ties these historical women and the challenges they faced into the most important issues of today. Based on the cult-following limited edition Dead Feminists letterpress poster series by illustrator Chandler O'Leary and letterpress artist Jessica Spring, the book combines new art and lettering, archival photographs and ephemera, and revisits the original poster to tell each woman's story. Each chapter is a call to action (Protect, Make, Grow, Teach, Lead, Tell, Share, Play), and shows how the women exemplified that quality in their own ways. This book takes feminist inspiration to a new level of artistry and shows how ordinary and extraordinary women have made a difference throughout history (and how you can too!)"--

#Broadside designed by artist #ChandraOLeary and printed by #JessicaSpring for the 2008 election, featuring the words of activist #ElizabethCadyStanton

It‘s the first design in their #DeadFeminist series, which inspired this book.

Very diverse collection of women mentioned in this series. The broadsides are so detailed and you can tell O‘Leary and Spring tried to make them as personal as possible. The biographies were great intros to the different women. Each of the topics presented are relevant to what‘s happening now. Enioyed this.

Thanks Netgalley for this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have 100% enjoyed this book and I recommend it to everyone! I grabbed it from the library to look thru when I had moments here and there, and it has been perfect for that.

I want to show you some of what the inside looks like. Here are some page spreads from the Harriet Tubman section 💪🏻

This book is about heroic women and their contributions to our world AND how two artists choose to honor these women with their craft. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

This book is AMAZING. The pictures on the inside are fantastic.

There are sections featuring great women like: Harriet Tubman, Marie Curie, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Cady Stanton. And more. I'm enjoying it so much.

I carried this to my kids' fencing practice tonight and literally didn't look up from these pages at all. Not once. Oopsy! 🤺🤺🤺😳

HippieChickHomeschool My daughter was just lamenting (heatedly) that there was only one woman in her history of science so far. I will have to pick this up for her. 8y

Here's the thing. I am in love with this book. It should be THE present you give every person you know this holiday season. In fact, give it to people on Thanksgiving so no one beats you to the punch. The art is incredible, the women chosen for the book are surprising, interesting, perfect—seriously, this is the most beautiful book.

At the book launch party. There was a contest for best costume, cake, and a printing press so you could make your own Votes for Women postcard. I've collected their broadsides for a few years, but am so looking forward to having them all (so far) collected in one place with more detailed information about each amazing woman. The authors/artists are wonderful people and #kingsbooks is a great independent bookstore. #getindie
