SEKHMET - MAGAZINE OF THE ANARCHA-FEMINIST FEDERATION OF AOTEAROA
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HOW WE STARTED
|
|||
|
|
At the Anarchist Conference in 1991 anarcha-feminism was discussed. From
|
|||
|
|
the discussion two groups were established, one in Auckland and one in
|
|||
|
|
Wellington.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here finally is issue 8 of Sekhmet - for all those who contacted us from
|
|||
|
|
overseas requesting an email copy thankyou! It certainly is a new
|
|||
|
|
development for us being able to get in touch with heaps of new contacts
|
|||
|
|
from around the world. If you don't want issue 9 please contact us, hey but
|
|||
|
|
don't hold your breath for it cause they tend to come out quite
|
|||
|
|
spasmodically. Also please note the following is not Sekhmet in it's
|
|||
|
|
entireity, we've cut a bit out especially basic stuff like definitions of
|
|||
|
|
anarchy etc.

SEKHMET
|
|||
|
|
Sekhmet is the magazine of the Anarcha-feminist Federation. The name of
|
|||
|
|
our zine Sekhmet, is taken from Egyptian theology. Sekhmet being an
|
|||
|
|
Egyptian war goddess, we see Sekhmet as a good name for a magazine making
|
|||
|
|
war with hierarchies. Articles in Sekhmet do not necessarily reflect
|
|||
|
|
views of the collective.

EDITORIAL
|
|||
|
|
Kia ora! Were in the middle of a Wellington southerly storm. Despite the
|
|||
|
|
icy rain its been an exciting week - the events at Wanganui totally
|
|||
|
|
eclipsed more routine things! Nonetheless, Sekhmet VIII will be off the
|
|||
|
|
photocopiers soon (we hope). We also nearly had a computer disaster. On
|
|||
|
|
March 8, the Michelangelo virus wiped the hard drive of our computer! The
|
|||
|
|
main casualty was our mailing list. This stuffed up our distribution, so
|
|||
|
|
sorry a million times if you should have received this zine, and didnt.
|
|||
|
|
And please send us your address!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Katipo Collective is still sharing an office with the Committee for the
|
|||
|
|
Establishment of Civilization. Its on the second floor of the Blue Star
|
|||
|
|
(formerly Sharp) building, so, if youre passing, check us out at 264 Cuba
|
|||
|
|
St.! There is now an anarchist bookshop, too! This is at 272 Cuba St.,
|
|||
|
|
sharing space with the NORML shop, which has been totally refurbished. It
|
|||
|
|
will stock lots of groovy anarcha-feminist books and pamphlets, along with
|
|||
|
|
anarchist ones.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The biggest thing we organized this year so far has been the Third Annual
|
|||
|
|
Anarcha-feminist Conference, and this issue reflects this in being a
|
|||
|
|
Conference Special! Were really interested in having more feedback from
|
|||
|
|
wimmin on how the Conference went for them, so we can work out what we did
|
|||
|
|
O.K., and what we could have done better. So have a rant, and send us your
|
|||
|
|
letters!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also happening is the Womens Book Collective a group set up to put
|
|||
|
|
together a book which documents some of the radical feminist thoughts and
|
|||
|
|
actions happening in Aotearoa/New Zealand today. The Collective was
|
|||
|
|
motivated to compile the book to combat the myth that feminism is becoming
|
|||
|
|
a thing of the past. Yeah we think that is crap too so the Katipo
|
|||
|
|
Collective responded to the questionnaire which forms the basis of the
|
|||
|
|
book. Groups and individual women who are involved in working for change
|
|||
|
|
are encouraged to be part of the book, so if you want to be included or
|
|||
|
|
want more information ring Rozy Tunnicliffe on (04) 2928828, or Maria
|
|||
|

McMillan (06) 350 4505 (work) (06) 3595279 (home).For those who would
|
|||
|
|
