Abstract

This paper investigates two publishing strategies employed by feminist publishing ventures and the publics they form.  With the growing success of women in publishing, their work moves from being published primarily in feminist presses to being found in all possible formats of publishing. Nevertheless, said feminist presses and publishing outlets have always been and still are highly productive and relevant spaces for the feminist cause and movement. They offer options of intervention with or retreat from the market and a broader public and can create their own smaller (counter) public or enclave.
