Mixed Media : Feminist Presses and Publishing Politics

Mixed Media is the first book to explore the feminist press movement which transformed literary culture in the last quarter of the 20th century.

It is both a survey of the movement itself and a detailed critique of its impact. / Murray explores the main debates that feminist presses addressed: the nature of independence; the politics of race, feminist publishing and the academy; radical writing and publishing practice; and feminism's interface with mainstream publishing.

The book reassesses feminist publishing's seeming decline, as well as exploring the fast-growing disciplines of cultural industries and media production.

It is an invaluable resource for undergraduates and postgraduates in publishing studies, cultural and media studies and gender studies.
