Y'all should come to Mobile, Alabama (just a little bit down from NOLA). We've got a pretty diverse group of feminists here.. and could probably put y'all up for a night or three.
If you're interested, you can contact me at: jeshistory@gmail.com
Good luck & safe driving in your travels!

Feminists for Progress

Please come to Wichita, KS!!! I've just re-launched a Feminist Student Group on campus and there's a diverse, activist, progressive movement here! We call ourselves "New Wave Feminists!" We would LOOOOVE to show you around and talk feminism all night! Pretty pretty please, with a cherry on top? Lol!
I second Jamie's comment. Nobody comes to Mississippi or Alabama because they think we're stupid hicks, but really, those of us in these areas who are feminists/progressives need to be heard. And we do have universities you can visit, where people will be happy to talk to you. I attend the University of Southern Mississippi, which has a thriving feminist community.
Even if you don't, good luck with your project!
Jamie and Julie--
We would love to come to Mobile while we are in the New Orleans area. Let us know, give us an email at nona200@gmail.com!
If you can swing through Ithaca, NY at any point, the Cornell Women's Resource Center would LOVE to talk with you. You can contact me at lbw26 AT cornell DOT edu

Great project - just read about you on salon.com's broadsheet. I hope you're planning on talking to some women who are mothers as well! I think there's lots of juicy territory to mine in the concept of women (feminists or not) reproducing, particularly as 3rd wavers are having babies now...
There's also a whole series of communities of mothers that you might not even know about if you're not a mom - mothers clubs are hugely important to many, and bring up a lot of feminist issues (the 'choice' to work or stay home etc). Plus I think moms tackle issues of gender daily, those of us raising feminist boys and girls, the pink vs blue divide, princesses vs trucks etc.
Anyway, I'd be happy to talk more if you want, or introduce you to some SF Bay Area mother's groups... jennifer at caleshu dot com
good luck!
I love what you guys are doing. I only have one problem: why aren't y'all going to stop in Dallas or Fort Worth on the way from Tulsa to Austin?! I'm a student journalist at the University of North Texas, I would love to interview you guys. e-mail me at bookrdr123@yahoo.com
Hey Ouisghian! we would love to stop in other places in Texas but unfortunately we don't have the time or money right now to do everything. sucks. hopefully next time around! but we can still do an interview...

This project sounds amazing. I live near Baltimore, so if you need anything when you're in the D.C. area, let me know. If you're looking for more people, we have a good number at our college that are involved in Women's Issues Group and Vagina Monologues and would LOVE to talk.
Best of luck!

This is a beautiful project you've got going. I'd love to see you in Austin, TX, though somehow I think you've probably got enough stuff to do and enough women to meet while you're here :o) Best of luck!
hardly any midwest dates?
What an awesome project! When you're in Boston, please come check us out at the Center for New Words (www.centerfornewwords.org). I'm 36 and most of our small staff/interns are younger than me.
Also, any chance you'll come back East in the spring? We host an amazing National Conference called Women, Action & the Media (WAM!), and Andi Zeisler, Carla DeSantis and some of the other awesome women you're interviewing will be there, and it would be great to have you there, too. www.wam2008.org
catherine elizabeth--
don't worry! we have plenty of the midwest coming up. we went to minneapolis, detroit, and flint, and plan to go to kansas city, st. louis, and madison. plus, we are based out of chicago and plan to interview ladies over there when we get back.
Awesome thing you are doing.
I don't know if you have all your interviews scheduled for Austin, Tx yet, but I run an all plus sized burlesque troop which has brought up some interesting new thoughts for me on feminism and how women are viewed.
If i can help in anyway, please feel free to contact me at blue (dot) val (at) gmail.com
If you find yourself near the Columbus, Ohio area, feel free to stop by my place! I'm not connected to any particular feminist orgs, I'm just a young feminist working mom with my own two-year-old feminist-in-training :) We've love to put you up for a night if you need it. Best of luck with your project!

Please consider stopping for a day in baton rouge between austin and new orleans.

Mary: We may be coming to Wichita on our way to Kansas City from Colorado! Let me know if you are still down to show us around...
Jen: we would love to talk to you, perhaps on Nona's way back to Chicago from NYC in January!

This project is so exciting! Thanks for doing it!
Hey, I just wanted to say that I love this project; I think that feminism as a movement is trying to re-define itself, and a huge part of that is trying to figure out where we stand. Plus, road trip. Never a bad thing.
Would you two consider coming to the Penn Women's Center at the University of Pennsylvania when you're in Philadelphia? I'm just a freshman, and not really in a position to issue an invitation at the moment, but if you're interested, I could ask the director about setting something up.
Thanks and Good Luck,
Meg

I haven't read everything y'all put up, but this looks great. Reminds me in part of Killing the Buddha - either of you two read it? Two authors chasing God across America. Feminism and women's rights are even better, far as subjects to chase go. Beats the shit out of God - I can at least believe in what you two are looking for, in my way.
My girlfriend's started a group at Emory looking into gender disparity, working towards equal pay, better childcare setups, more acceptance that people in academia can actually, you know, have significant others and families. I sent her a link to this, think she'll love what you're doing. Sorry to see the South's off the agenda - there's decent people out here, but unfortunately not enough of us to swing politics a better direction.
Consider opening up a project in the future to submissions? You'd retain editorial review, but this could be a hell of a web 2.0 compilation/remix. It's hard for two people to criss-cross America. It's easy for everyone to do it. We're already here.
If you're passing through Houston on your way from Austin to New Orleans, stop off for food, refreshments, and more interviews. I'd love to meet you, and I know a number of women who'd think likewise.
You can reach me at lrevans21@yahoo.com
best wishes for your trip,
Linda
Houston, TX
just heard about you through girlistic! i am in love with what yr doing. i wish that you could make at stop in omaha, nebraska, but i understand yr budget won't allow. maybe next time around?

I was listening to this woman, Katha Pollitt, on the radio the other day. She was talking about her new book, "Learning to Drive". Her daughter goes to Wesleyan. They both might be good NYC women to talk to...incase you didn't have enough.
You TOTALLY need (must) speak with my friend Susan. She is a WEALTH of info and can tell you what it was like back in the day when the (modern ) movement was just getting started in the Washington, DC area. She was there and in the midst of it...and she can give you the true lesbian perspective. Email me and let's get you together w/her for a chat!
PS: ltlblkbook@gmail.com
and let's get you chatting with Susan! : )
Come to Montreal! Okay, it's not in the US but it's really near Boston and it rocks. And there is special things going on about feminism.. differents cultures has differents ways to take on changes..
anyway, come to Montreal it's the place to be;)
i want to go to montreal! we'll try? got any fundraising ideas haha....

I was sad to miss you ladies in Kansas City. Craig and I had discussed your project before you came and I was very excited to speak with you. Craig never called me back! I would love to meet with you if you return to the area!
Lara--Craig sucks! Why didn't he put us in touch? Well, anyway, I am actually going to come to Kansas City the first weekend in Feb maybe to do an art show? So let's hook up then, never to late for an interview...
XOXO

Hola NONA DEAR !!!!! Voy a escribirte en español, pues Englisht is not my favorite language, i´m sorry! Qué lindo tu viaje ... me encantó tu blog y todo lo que tu escribes ... deseo tener tu book apenas lo tengas listo ok?? Una sugeréncia: venga estudiar un poco del femenismo en Brasil, un país "emergente" ... creo que tendrás muchas sorpresas!! Un beso grande y te echo de menos!! Luciana.
I just found out about your awesome project through Gina! I met her when we played at Estrojam 2006!! I'm a singer/songwriter and grad student in creative writing in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It looks like you already came down to the south, but if you come down here again, please let me know! I also have feminist contacts in Columbus, OH (because I'm from there) with the people who run Ladyfest Ohio and they have contacts with Drag Kings, Burlesque, all sorts of other stuff there. I will be in NYC late Jan/Early Feb, and then I'm moving there in the summer. I will also be on tour during the summer-- (don't know if you're interested in travelling with a feminist musician for a bit?) Anyway, I'd LOVE to talk to you! You can contact me at: alyson@alysongreenfield.com.
Can't wait to see more from you ladies!
Alyson
