Leaping off the edge

The Women's Circus, based in Melbourne, is an innovative community arts project. Now it has been documented in the splendid book, Women's Circus: Leaping Off the Edge. The book's authors, women who have performed in the circus, hope that their stories of women's strengths, struggles and achievements will inspire all who read them. Women's Circus is published by Spinifex Press, 1997. $29.95 (pb).

About 91̳

In a desperately unequal world facing a climate emergency, wars and growing inequality, everyone has to pick a side.

Our side is — and always will be — that of the 99%.

Our goal is not only to expose the lies, hypocrisy and bias of the billionaire class and their media: we seek to help the organising efforts of all those actively resisting the increasingly authoritarian rule of the corporate rich, here and overseas.
