‘Sister Inside’: Shaping Prison Feminisms through Print

Prison ‘zines’ or newsletters played a crucial role in shaping the prisoner rights and women’s movements in the USA in the 1970s. Join cultural historian Dr Olivia Wright who will explore how the multi-racial, anti-prison activism illustrated in these periodicals, highlight the experiences of incarcerated women. Looking further at how these provide a blueprint for the abolition feminism that we see today.

This event is part of the Leeds Cultural Conversations series organised by the Centre for Culture and Humanities at Leeds Beckett University.
