Perimeter Books on Instagram: "A small handful back in stock after the stacks of preorders were fulfilled — won’t last! Love & Lightning: A Collection of Queer and Feminist Manifestos (Valiz, Amsterdam). /// Link to store in bio. /// Love & Lightning: A Collection of Queer and Feminist Manifestos is a thematically ordered, inconclusive collection of queer, feminist and queer-feminist manifestos. Girls Like Us Magazine and author Sarah van Binsbergen have composed a publication showcasing the different forms a manifesto might have, from classical, activist formats to more poetic, associative texts. The manifestos highlighted in this book cross borders, forms and disciplines, refuse binary logics, transcend our concepts of time and space and surpass the neoliberal logic. Love & Lightning does not claim to be a complete anthology, but it rather aims to show the myriad of ways manifestos can be composed, and what their legacy until this day is. It presents manifestos from 1851 until now, divided into eleven chapters, introduced in their socio-historical and geographical contexts, with many from Asia, Africa, Latin-America. Not only does this publication give new insight in the style of the manifesto, it aims to emancipate the reader to propose their own revolution, whether big or small. #perimeterbooks @valiz_books_projects"

PM Press on Instagram: "Abortion is care. Abortion is power. Abortion is joy. 

Don’t Breed on Me: A Short History of Abortion by Madeline Waugh Quasebarth is a defiant, funny, and unflinching dive into the millennia-long story of abortion—a practice as old as humanity and as contested as ever. From medieval Europe to Ming Dynasty China, from women enslaved in the American South to German nuns smuggling herbs, abortion has always been here. And so have the people who provided it.

Rooted in global history, folklore, and fierce scholarship, Quasebarth’s book is as joyful as it is furious. She opens with a bang and doesn’t let up, threading together ancient remedies (like crocodile dung pessaries), feminist saints, lost abortifacients, and the enduring power of reproductive autonomy. Want to meet a medieval Italian surgeon who secretly performed abortions in a city that banned women from medicine? Or a Qing Dynasty widow who casually asks her lover for “red flower medicine” after a scandalous affair? Or a granny midwife dedicated to ensuring reproductive control for herself and her community? They’re here, and so are dozens of stories like them—buried, distorted, or erased by colonialism and patriarchy.

Don’t Breed on Me is not just a book about abortion—it’s a call to remember, reclaim, and reframe. For students, activists, and anyone with a uterus (or who knows someone with one), this book is both an accessible introduction and a vital tool in the fight for reproductive justice.

Elizabeth Lim on Instagram: "🐠🧵🥜COVER REVEAL! 🥮💞
 
It is with great delight that I unveil the cover for FISHBONE CINDERELLA! 

When I was a new and unpublished author, a piece of advice stuck with me: “Write what you want to read.” 

There are two genres I grew up adoring and they are fantasy and historical fiction – especially multigenerational stories with messy family drama. Well, I’ve done a few of the former and I’d been itching to write a historical novel inspired by my grandmother’s life, but it took years before I felt I had honed my craft well enough to do the story justice. Now, Fishbone Cinderella is finally here, and I could not be happier or prouder of what it achieves. While the contents are yet to be uncovered by you, dear readers, I hope you will agree that the cover is gorgeous!!

🎨My deepest thanks to Lilitt Wang @lilittwang, the brilliant artist, for envisioning then rendering the perfect face for my book. I’d been hoping for a cover that was both enchanting yet also heartfelt, and as you can see, she nailed it. I must also thank Regina Flath @reginaflath, our art director and jacket designer, for her keen eye and tremendous framing for FISHBONE CINDERELLA!

📚Thank you to my editor, Tricia, and to my team at Del Rey for being supportive of my adult debut from the start. I can’t believe that in a little more than 6 months, this book will be out in the world, and I have them (and my agent Gina) to thank for that. 

🌟 FISHBONE CINDERELLA is available for preorder, and I would love it if you’d consider reserving a copy in advance. Preorders are immensely helpful for authors, as they create buzz for a book pre-release and signal to bookstores that they ought to stock it! So please go forth and get a copy ☺️ It’s also available for request in @netgalley 💙

Links are in my story and bio

I cannot wait to share more about this book with you! 🥰"
