The Australian feminist publisher Spinifex has expressedinterest in publishing it. Its inspiration was an exchangebetween me and Julia Long during one of the FeministQuestion Time break-out sessions a while ago. Julia and I werediscussing the importance of documenting all the hard workwomen have been doing, all over the world, for a very longtime, to protect our sex-based rights.Personally, I have noticed that many more women arespeaking out today than were doing ten years ago, and evenbefore that. This is great! All newcomers are welcome andencouraged to be loud. I do my best to highlight their voices ina weekly series I publish on Substack titled FFS Friday, whereFFS stands for Female Free Speech. A lot of people see FFSand they think it stands for For F's Sake, and of course it doesmean that too. I just don't say that out loud.I reached out to several women to write chapters about thework women have been doing in their countries for severaldecades, and many stepped up to do so. Many of us are heretoday.

Marie Josèphe Devillers: I am a lesbian feminist activist. I am the co-president and co-founder of ICASM (the International Coalition for the Abolition of Surrogate Motherhood), an umbrella organisation comprising 50 member organisations from 17 countries and operating across three continents.

Aly is a female business owner and founder of a mental health clinic that is thriving despite her near fatal motorcycle accident in 2020. Despite her own mother's contemplation with abortion in 1969 and her own pregnancy out of wedlock in 1994, she is the mother of two adult children and soon to be two grandchildren. She knows personally the battle of living with mental illness as a trauma survivor of sexual abuse and narcissistic abuse. God in all His glory created man. And then Woman!!! He knew how important we are!!!

Karen Browne lives in the west of Ireland and has had a lifelong interest in women's rights. She is a member of Let Women Speak and believes that taking action is important, whether through stickering, talking to people, engaging with government, or using social media. Living with disabilities, she is also interested in how these experiences affect women. Her main interests are creative writing, reading, and drawing.

Annie Gouilleux is 77 years old, lives on her own in Lyon in France. She is a retired English teacher turned translator, and now she's " come home" in the radical feminist mouvement, at least that's how it feels.

Karla Mantilla is a longtime feminist who cut her teeth on feminist activism and theory as a collective member of off our backs newsjournal. She taught sociology, research methods, and statistics at a variety of colleges and universities in the Washington, DC, and surrounding area. She worked for nearly 18 years as the managing editor of an academic women's studies journal. Throughout her tenure there, she witnessed the field of academic women's studies devolve into something unrecognizable as feminism to her

Susan Hawthorne has been reading about prehistory for nearly 50 years.She even enrolled in a Philosophy PHD entitled ‘Belief Systems in the AncientWorld' in 1979. One year in it became impossible because all the philosopherswanted her to read was postmodernism. She threw in the PhD and began studyingancient languages, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit and some Latin. Instead of her PhD,she wrote a novel, The Falling Woman (1992) which includes some mythicmaterial. Her main work in the mythic area is poetry. In The ButterflyEffect (2005) she unpacks lesbian language and metaphor; in Cow(2011) she follows a cow called Queenie from her invention of the universe tothe present; in Lupa and Lamb (2014) she pulls apart the history ofRome, its wolves and lambs and lost texts found in an ancient museum; in TheSacking of the Muses (2019) she follows myths from India and Greece,including several translations. Poetry allows for experimentation and formaking things up in order to show a different way of seeing the world. She iscurrently working on a book, Ulyssea in which she imagines alesbian-centric Amazon world.

She wants to reinvent support services for female victims of violence to minimise harm and disruption to them and their children, using her experience to deliver the best victim-centred services in the world.

Sam Brown is a Canadian mother and women's activist. She was the Ontario coordinator for WDI Canada until recently, when she took over from Linda Blade as the Canadian coordinator. She is also involved in local activism in Ontario opposing gender ideology, school board overreach, and the erosion of women's rights in Canada.
