Very good A pleasing copy of the Spring 1987 issue of the long-running radical feminist magazine, featuring a tribute to Bessie Head by Margot Farnham and illustrations by Cath Jackson. Trouble and Strife was an independent radical feminist magazine published in Britain between 1983 and 2002. Its masthead featured the following legend, outlining its political position: "Trouble and Strife is cockney rhyming slang for wife. We chose this name because it acknowledges the reality of conflict in relations between women and men. As radical feminists, our politics come directly from this tension between men's power and women's resistance." The magazine was collectively produced by Lynn Alderson, Dena Atttar, Margot Farnham, Cath Jackson, Susanne Kappelar, Liz Kelly, Sophie Laws and Judy Stevens. Articles include, Zehra's 'Different Roots, Different Routes Ethnic Minority Lesbians'; Dorothy Francis' review of the film adaptation of The Color Purple and Anna Wilson's review of Jeanette Winterson's Fit for the Future; plus Rosemary Auchmuty's 'You're a dyke Angela! the rise and fall of the schoolgirl story'. The Trouble and Strife Reader was published by Bloomsbury Academic in 2009, edited by Deborah Cameron and Joan Scanlon.
