Acknowledgments

This book is dedicated to Dara Greenwald, for everything, especially right now. Id like to thank Amy Scholder and all at the Feminist Press, for believing in this project and bringing it to fruition. The original idea to create these posters was as much Liz Gosss as mine, and this book wouldnt exist without her. Lindsay Caplan, Heather Rogers, and Eric Triantafillou provided hours of idea generation and/or editingall intellectual and cultural work is collective. Claude Moller, Ben Ruben, Shaun Slifer, and Daniel Tucker all worked hard with me to get posters up on walls around the country; I want to thank them for all the hours of guerilla accompaniment. Hundreds of hands have drawn, designed, printed, and pasted these posters the world over, I look forward to working with hundreds more in the future.
