On December 9, Joy of Resistance will feature women comics artists from the newly released anthology "Shameless Feminists". It features over 30 artists who illustrate their journeys through patriarchy in a variety of visual and writing styles--with humor, outrage and resistance. The book is produced by the radical comics collective World War 3 Illustrated--and will be released on December 10. We will be offering listeners this terrific 192 page visual anthology--and send it to you in time for the holidays--for a pledge of $40. to support WBAI.
The show will also feature singer/songwriter Judy Gorman, live in the studio as we explore the female experience through music. See what Pete Seeger had to say about her, below.
About "Shameless Feminists"
The new 192-page anthology of all new comic book stories on the topic of feminism and women's rights features work and contributions by Paula Hewitt Amram, Katherine Arnoldi, Isabella Bannerman, Susan Simensky Bietila, Jenny Gonzalez-Blitz, Jennifer Camper, Allyssa Lou Allen, Teresa Cherubini, MK Czerwiec, Fly, Sandy Jimenez, Monica Johnson, Sabrina Jones, Peter Kuper, Ellen Lindner, Joanne Starer, Rebecca Migdal, Andrea Narno, Seong Un McFarlane, Carly Shooster, Regina Silvers, Lauren Simkin Berke, Jessica Sturdivant, Lance Tooks, Tamara Tornado, Jenny Brown, Emily Waters, Lauren Weinstein, Susan Willmarth, Sadie Rose, Jennie Chi, Jasmine DeLude, and V.
By shedding their shame and telling their stories, the contributors to this World War 3 Illustrated volume expose the contradictions of the Trump/#MeToo era. In comics that fuse personal testimony with political savvy on topics from healthcare, harassment, childbirth, and assault to everyday sexism, women—from grandmothers to art students—break glass ceilings and pick the shards from their eyes. WW3 veterans are joined by new and international talent in a collection full of outrage, humor, and resistance.
About Judy Gorman
She is a great original topical singer/songwriter/activist, who has been performing around the world for many years; she is also the arranger and singer of the Joy of Resistance theme song!
Pete Seeger summed up Judy Gorman like this: "She came, she sang, she conquered. No two programs that she gives are the same. She is always thinking how to find the right phrase, the right song to hit the nail right on the head, to shoot the arrow straight to the heart of the matter. I hope she lives to be 100 and is able to bring her songs to every nook and cranny of this suffering world."
