Letter from the Editors

Dear Readers,

This issue of Feminist Spaces is the product of our third open call for works. Once again, we are both surprised and delighted by the diverse content of the submissions we have received. Through this call, we received vast array of works discussing relevant topics such as the ethics of intersex surgery, oppression through the objectification of menstruation as well as feminist readings of literature, film, and art.

We are increasingly thankful for the overwhelming support we continue to receive, without which this journal would cease to grow and expand in the ways that it has. We extend sincere thanks to our contributors. Without your passion and hard work this journal would not be possible; our editorial board, whose work is crucial to the success of this project; and, of course, our readers, whose increasing curiosity and thirst for knowledge provide our endless motivation.

As the area of women’s issues continues to expand, opposition and antifeminist discourse grows as well. As a result, preserving the ability to have an open dialogue on these crucial and timely issues continues to be of paramount importance. It has always been the objective of Feminist Spaces to provide an outlet through which feminist voices can engage with, and embrace, one another in the hope that social change may strengthen and continue. We feel that this issue remains true to these goals, while embracing many distinct and controversial challenges that women continue to encounter and resist. We hope that you enjoy the works within this issue and find something that speaks to you.

As always, we invite you to turn the page and explore what lies within and beyond these continually growing feminist spaces.

Our very best,

Erica Miller, Editor-in-Chief Sydney Stone, Managing Editor Jordan Thames, Managing Editor
