And now for some good news…

A Canadian magazine called Antigone is collating a feminist version of PostSecret. Except instead of sending in anonymous secrets, Antigone collects “dreams for women”.

Here’s a movie of some of the submissions:

The magazine asks readers from all over the world to send in their postcards along with a donation of between C$1-10, which will be used to set up “a national foundation that will encourage young women aged 10-30 to get politically and civically engaged”.

I love this project.

Have your say

In order to keep this blog as a feminist and friendly space, comments will be subject to some rules. We do not seek to censor debate: the beauty of the internet is that anyone can set up their own blog or website to express their views.

This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
Trolls will be banned from commenting. We get to decide who is a troll.
No anonymous comments - please feel free to use your real name or make one up, though.
Be nice.
