'The New Woman's Survival Catalog' is a powerful feminist facsimile

Featured spread is from Primary Information's monumental new 10.5 x 14.25 inch facsimile edition of The New Woman's Survival Catalog, the 1973 "Woman-made" survey of second-wave feminist projects, collectives and businesses across the US. "This book is a tool for women whose rising expectations are running into the wall of patriarchal privilege: the women who are aggrieved at the discrepancy between their expectations of expanded choice and room to grow and the reality of male resistance. Whether women wish to file job discrimination complaints, equal pay suits or start their own separatist venture, this catalog presents answers, aids, tools produced by the feminist movement in battle against sexism," authors Kirsten Grimstad and Susan Rennie write in the Introduction.
