There were two threads on this topic, but I can't seem to access either of them.

Anyway, I've started another one. Who has received their copy with the fab posters? Mine just arrived this morning. Smile

I'm quite surprised at how much material is in the magazine! Will take a while to get through it all. Pretty awesome.

Here's the link for information about it if anyone hasn't come across it before

My email today also said if I replied to it they'd send me a pdf to read until the hard copy arrives

Had no idea! Have ordered Grin

Did they go ahead and print more first issues? I know they sold out when they had printed 1500, which is fantastic news. There was talk on twitter of doing a second print run.

Mine came a couple of days after most people got theirs. It's a beautiful volume, and the essays and articles are really thought provoking. Enjoyed the one about boundaries (by a classicist), and the one called our fathers who aren't in heaven. And the review of 'female'. But lots of others are great too & I haven't finished reading yet.

It's also really good value even though it seems like alot for a magazine, it's not a magazine, it's a book of collected essays, poems, illustrations etc.

Just seen on Twitter that they have changed distributors so hopefully that means I'll get it soon.

Still waiting.....anyone else?
Wow that's long. Worth getting in touch with them to see if there's anything they can do? ☹️

I ordered an annual subscription and art last week; I'm assuming it will include the first issue, rather than beginning from the next edition.
Looking forward to whatever comes!

It's arrived. It's a beautiful thing
What a great project, they must have had such fun putting it together.

fatblackcatspaw · 18/11/2020 18:07

I've ordered last night just the first issue as am broke but hope to get a proper sub asap (I used to work in a literary magazine subs are ESSENTIAL) looking forward to it.

HecatesCats · 18/11/2020 18:02

Still excitedly jumping up every-time something plops through the letterbox, hopeful for tomorrow!

Beamur · 18/11/2020 17:51

Mine has arrived but DD has snaffled it to read first..

Sometimesonly · 18/11/2020 17:38

Still waiting...impatiently checks mailbox for umpteenth time...

womanaf · 16/11/2020 12:16

I’m trying to blitz my way through work so I can read! Obviously it’s not working because here I am on mn.

persistentwoman · 15/11/2020 23:08

Mine arrived this morning - on a Sunday
What a pleasure - wonderful graphics, some insightful and challenging writing. Am steadily working my way through - and deciding where I am going to display some of the posters.

Throughout this whole shitstorm, it has been wonderful to see the re emergence of an impassioned, vibrant woman centred feminist movement and Radical Notion encapsulates it.

Catmaiden · 15/11/2020 21:28

And yes, if you have the posters it is a very big package

Catmaiden · 15/11/2020 21:26

Mine arrived Fri, still in quarentine, but so excited to open it on Mon! Having a shit time at the moment so that will be something to look forward to, tomorrow Smile

Sometimesonly · 15/11/2020 10:19

I'm sad about not having gone for the poster option now Me too but can't wait for it to arrive now!

womanaf · 15/11/2020 09:20

If you have ordered the artwork it definitely won’t fit through you letterbox.

I thought I was reconciled with having to wait til tomorrow, but now it might be in the parcelbox and my hopes are raised again! It’s a rollercoaster, I tell you.

StarintheMorning · 15/11/2020 08:10

Mine also arrive yesterday morning. I can’t tell you how great this is, it far exceeded my expectations. The artwork is fabulous, and the quarterly (can’t call it a magazine as the quality puts it above that) looks really interesting, although I have only had time for a quick flick through.

If you have ordered the artwork it definitely won’t fit through you letterbox.

Well done to all involved.

thinkingaboutLangCleg · 14/11/2020 18:43

Me too, Valency! Enjoying the magazine, though.

Mine arrived this morning, not had a chance to have a proper look due to too much DIY to do and feeling a bit crap due to covid (but know I’m lucky to just feel a bit crap).

Am really looking forward to delving into it!
