Urgent call for new publications on gender and development - Women, Ink.
Have you or your
organization recently produced a book on women and socio-economic and political
change in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean and
Central and Eastern Europe? Are you in interested in marketing and selling your
publication? Women, Ink., a project of
the International Women’s Tribune Centre, is urgently seeking new publications
about various gender and development issues – with a special focus on those
produced in the last three years by small independent and women’s presses and
information-producing groups in the Global South. Both practical and academic,
the Women, Ink. collection seeks books on various aspects of gender and
development, including women’s human rights; conflict and peace processes;
training; economics and globalization; health, sexuality and reproductive
rights; political process; information communication; policy and political
process an women organizing. Please visit http://www.womenink.org:80/ to
explore the collection further.
All publications
must be reviewed to ensure a good fit and a copy of each title is required for
these purposes. Titles that are selected will be featured for sale on the
Women, Ink. website; in Booklink, a monthly e-newsletter that reaches close to
800 subscribers; and a promotional piece that will be published in late October
this year. In addition, they will enjoy visibility at venues such as the AWID
Conference in November 2008; the International Colloquium of Women Leaders in
February 2009; and the UN Commission on the Status of Women in March 2009, to
name a few.
If you are
interested in having your book considered for this opportunity, please send a
review copy to Joeyta Bose, Women, Ink., 777 UN Plaza, New York, NY 10017. In addition, please write to reviewbooks@womenink.org so
