Small Strokes Big Oaks

When I first started in the feminist blogging community back in 2009, there was an awesome feminist blog carnival that I would submit posts to each month. It was a great way to get my pieces read and to find new blogs to follow. In fact, when I did my literacy interview in 2009-2010 for my master’s capstone project, most people noted that blog carnivals were among the best ways to build a community online.

Unfortunately, that carnival that I participated in is no longer active. Which is why I decided to start a new one! It gives me great pleasure to announce to you that the Feminist Odyssey Blog Carnival is now accepting submissions for the first edition to be published right here on Small Strokes on Wednesday, June 27, 2012.

If you’ve written anything about feminism in the past month or so, please consider submitting it to the blog carnival by filling out the form here. This month, the theme will be “female friendships.” Submit any post you’ve written recently – or write a whole new one! – about your female friendships. Has your feminism strengthened or hurt your female friendships? Have you been able to forge new ones through the community? Have you seen any good movies or books about female friendships? The possibilities are endless!

Be sure to check out the ground rules, then submit and spread the word!

I can’t wait to read all of your awesome posts!
