Janic Guillerez; Marjorie Alessandrini; Anne Delobel; et al.
Paris: Les Humanoides Associes, 1976-1978.Complete set of the French women’s comic magazine Ah ! Nana which evolved out of and was published by the comic book publishing house of Moebius (Jean Giraud), Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Philippe Druillet, and Bernard Farkas, Les Humanoides Associes. During a staff lunch of their magazine Metal Hurlant (the original of the English adaptation Heavy Metal), Jean-Pierre suggested to the women present (including his wife Janic Guillerez who became chief editor of Ah! Nana) to create a women’s magazine and feminist newspaper. Ah!Nana ran for nine issues, each with its own theme, coming to a short end following the magazine being banned to minors after the publication of the eighth issue devoted to homosexuality. This led the editorial team to go all in on the ninth and final issue, devoting it to incest, leading to the French censorship Commission banning the publication, labelling it pornographic.

Hunter, Beth Jaker, Barbara O’Dair, and Abby Tallmer. FACT formed as a group of feminists opposed to the anti-pornography ordinances written b Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon and in oppositions to the feminist group Women Against Pornography (WAP). Caught Looking is filled with images from 100 years of pornography accompanied by numerous essays providing a balanced view of feminism, pornography, and censorship exploring the questions: What is the role of sexually explicit language and images in women’s sexual arousal and pleasure? What role do images play in the control of women? How can the attempt to control women, which is at the heart of sexism, be most effectively subverted? Would violence diminish if violent images were removed from our culture? How can we incorporate our need for sexual speech and freedom of sexual expression into our feminist thinking and goals?

Bruxelles: Societe Belge de Libraire, 1904.Account of the captain of the RV Belgica, the second in command of the first Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897-1899.
