Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems, stories, blogs, essays, and speeches within these pages explore the generations and feminism(s) of WisCon. Various "waves" of feminism are discussed, alluded to, and chronicled, through vitally important tellings and retellings. WisCon is filled with strong opinions and loud voices. Central to any discussion about definitions of feminisms are questions about outsiders and insiders: Who is WisCon? Who is feminist? Whose opinion matters? Whose voice is heard? Who counts? Who belongs to which generation and does that matter? What does WisCon mean now? What will it mean for future generations? This volume is not designed to simply celebrate what goes on at WisCon, but to chronicle its triumphs, its challenges, its struggles as well as the perspectives of diverse attendees.
