The Down Under Feminists’ Carnival is open to all feminist bloggers in Australia and New Zealand. The underlisted blogs have had posts included in previous carnivals.
It’s important (at least to me, I don’t presume to speak for other bloggers!) that the DUF Carnival really showcases the awesome breadth and depth of Australasian feminist* blogging (the definition of “feminist” being pretty damn broad, as you can see!)
I may also have a wee obsession with compiling lists … and think it would TOTALLY ROCK to make this one as huge as possible. So if you write or read a blog or blogger that hasn’t appeared in the Carnival yet, submit some posts and spread the love!
If I’ve mistyped your blog’s name or your pseudonym, or you would prefer not to be included, just drop me a line at qotblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
Please note: Mainstream media sites have been included, with the carnival’d authors listed so you know which ones are the ones to read. Several bloggers included do not identify as feminists and may in fact be considered antifeminist in their views, or racist, transphobic, classist, anti-sex-worker etc. But they have all been included in our Carnival at one time or another. Just tread with caution.
I’ve tried to indicate where possible when blogs have been deleted/closed down or stopped posting.
