Fall 2017 Demeter Press
Feminist Publishing on Mothering, Reproduction, Sexuality, and Family DEMETER PRESS is partnered with the Motherhood Initiative for Research and Community Involvement (MIRCI). Founded in 1998, MIRCI’s mandate is to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of research and writing on motherhood and to establish a community of individuals and institutions working and researching in the area of mothering and motherhood. Demeter, first and foremost, seeks to promote maternal scholarship and writing, both at the university and community level, by publishing books that speak to women’s diverse insights, experiences, ideas, stories, studies, and concerns about mothering, reproduction, sexuality and family. Founded in 2006, Demeter Press is the first publisher focused specifically on Mothering, Reproduction, Sexuality and Family. We are an independent feminist press committed to publishing peer-reviewed scholarly work and creative non-fiction on mothering, re- production, sexuality and family issues. The press is named in honour of the Goddess Demeter, herstory’s most celebrated, empowered, and outraged mother.
