Downunder Feminist Carnival

Downunder Feminist Carnival
This month’s DUFC is brought to you by the Cast Iron Balcony. Welcome to the Balcony! Come up, admire the view of Melbourne, and grab a glass of what you fancy. Settle in, it’ll be a big one.

Wasn’t March a busy month? For our NZ bloggers it was still a matter of coming to terms with the terrible Christchurch earthquake. Amanda of Pickled Think lives in the Canterbury/Christchurch area and has published her experiences during the quake and afterwards. She has had a story published in Tales for Canterbury: a fundraising anthology, a short story compilation the profits from which go to earthquake relief. Buy up big for friends’ birthdays and next Christmas. Deborah, at The Hand Mirror, takes a moment to remember and reflect on the earthquake .

International Womens Day

March 8 was, of course, International Womens Day. In No more men?, Shiny new coin SNC pre-empts the cries of “why isn’t there an International Men’s day?” and writes about a new study on women and homelessness. “It Could be You: Female, Single, Older and Homeless, aside from the irksome and unwieldy title, reads like a perfect storm of why there is an International Women’s Day.”

You can send suggestions for Carnival #35 to the Carnival Submissions form, or just via email to h_smart_AT_iprimus_com_au. Otherwise, you could just put links for the DUFC in a comment on this post.

I thought I should at least nod to IWD, as I’ve been bad, as usual, and the day has sailed past in a blur of a full day’s work at the Mike Starr Memorial Dog’s home (and Cattery) , a load of washing, a load of dishes, garden and other diversions, OH THERE’S A TOPIC IN THERE. Ahem.

Yup. Missed it. I’ll have to do an IWD post next year. And I’d also like to link to the 33rd DUFC, brought to you by Leonine Anti-Heroine, which I also missed in recent kerfuffles.

Oh, and the CD launch? It went off.

Down Under Feminist Carnival #30

Downunder Feminist Carnival

This month’s Carnival is up at Fat Lot of Good. Nice work, FLOG!
 
 
PSA: Tess McKenna and the Shapiros won’t be playing at the Lomond hotel on the 12th – yes, I got the date wrong as well – but it’s still worth going to see Aintree Sweet featuring Jen Anderson and Barb Waters.

This month’s DUFC is at the Dawn Chorus, hosted by Caitlinate. A Caitlinate would be a benign oligarchy made up of Caitlins, I imagine, which I reckon would be a good thing.

But first, an important acknowledgement…

Something quite important has happened in our corner of the world and I think it should be noted and celebrated.

Screenshot of the ABC news web page with heading "Road to the Lodge" Julia Gillard becomes the first woman to be elected as Australia's prime minister.

Congratulations to Julia Gillard, Australia’s first female Prime Minister.

The front page of the Hun this morning had an almost life-size photo of Gillard, but with the caption “Good Luck, Australia!” Such a charming response to this historic event from the Murdoch Minions. She holds her position in spite of their appalling machinations and bias (and there’s more of that to come.)

OK, off to the DUFC#28 with you. As the Knights of Ni say: “Nooooow….Go!
