• Recommended Reading for the Next President
  

  The March April 2016 issue of (WRB) was quite different from the publication鈥檚 usual offering. Amy Hoffman, M.F.A., editor-in-chief, included a special section featuring WRB writers and some other favorite feminists sharing recommendations of what they thought the next U.S. president should be reading, in preparation for taking office. Additionally, Cartoon Editor Jennifer Camper illustrated the special section and added brevity with her artwork. The list that resulted is fascinating鈥攁nd could probably keep even the most well-read person productively busy for the entire next presidential term. But it wasn鈥檛 quite what Hoffman expected.

  A Special Women鈥檚 Review of Books Feature

  Last year, Amy Hoffman, M.F.A., editor-in-chief, Women鈥檚 Review of Books (WRB) began thinking about the organizing by Black Lives Matter against police violence and other forms of racist oppression, the intersectional politics of this new movement, and its similarities and differences鈥攊n politics and strategies鈥攆rom previous organizing. She decided to bring together (virtually, through email) a few older and younger Black women activists to talk about their experiences and ideas. A special roundtable discussion with Demita Frazier, J.D., Stacey Patton, Ph.D., Barbara Smith, and Mecca Jamilah Sullivan was featured in the March/April 2017 issue of WRB.

  Research & Action Report, Fall/Winter 2011
  by Amy Hoffman, M.F.A.

  In its September 11, 2011, issue, the New York Times Magazine brought together a group of pundits for a roundtable discussion, moderated by reporter Scott Malcolmson, of the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: Michael Ignatieff, James Traub, David Rieff, Paul Berman, and Ian Buruma. Scott, Michael, James, David, Paul, and Ian: not a woman鈥攏or a person of color鈥攊n the bunch. This particular group had been invited because each had published a significant article previously in the magazine about the issues under discussion鈥攚hich doesn鈥檛 justify the choice; if anything, it makes it worse. Not only were women absent from the magazine鈥檚 9/11 anniversary discussion, but we weren鈥檛 included in the debates of the past ten years!
