Description

“We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin

This is an “unofficial” member of the Dead Feminists broadsides series, a small letterpress keepsake done in the style and spirit of the series. We created this piece in honor of the life and work of Pacific Northwest author Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018). The mini-broadside was printed from metal type handset by Jessica, and a linocut volcano illustration hand-carved by Chandler.

To help continue our mission of helping women and girls take action in their own communities, we are donating a portion of the proceeds of this print to the Dead Feminists Fund.

The piece was printed by hand on an antique Sigwalt platen press, on archival, 100% rag (cotton) paper. The print is unsigned and unnumbered.

Paper size: approximately 3 x 6.75 inches
Edition size: approximately 200 prints (not numbered)
Paper has a deckle (torn) edge running along the top
