If not, let me know and I'll delete.

I was barely aware that she had put this together (though I'm familiar with the issues she writes about). Anyway, I thought it may be of interest to some here. I made sure to use a non-amazon associate link.

Mend My Dress

Neely Bat Chestnut has compiled her zines put out between 2005-2007, which include the first six issues of Mend My Dress, as well as Dear Step dad and Grit and Glitter, in a comprehensive anthology of early work. Chestnut’s Zines are well respected in the zine community and her zines cover issues ranging from incest, self-harm, the riot grrrl movement, feminism, friendship, fairytale, and healing as she reflects on her childhood and coming-of-age.

1. I appreciate your desire to help your friend - but

I'd hate to see DU turn into eBay. I'm just a reader and poster, not a moderator but I respectfully ask that you delete the post. This is not a site for selling things.

Thank you and best regards,
Dave

2. People recommend books and movies and blogs

all the time on DU. I think as long as it's only posted once and has a connection to womens' rights, it's fine.

6. Thanks and you're welcome.

I'm really not trying to help my friend make money, but get folks to look at her work. She's a huge supporter of all the things we talk about here, is a fierce defender of the trans community and I thought people may be interested in this.

I guess the post would have bothered Dave less if I hadn't said it was my friend but I wanted to be transparent about that.

7. Ooo, that's right up my alley.

Thank you for posting this.

8. I agree with LisaD

If it's on topic/on SOP and it's just posted once, that's fine. It isn't spamming.
