De Tweede Sekse (Blog + zine)

type=digital_archives

De Tweede Sekse is a feminist blog started by a few Dutch-speaking feminists in Belgium. De Tweede Sekse is Dutch for The Second Sex (Le Deuxième Sexe), also the name of the classic book by Simone de Beauvoir. The blog was started in the end of 2008 and several women plan to write for it. Topics include theories of oppression, patriarchy, feminist herstory, anti-racism and intersectionality, pornography, zines and more. In April 2010 several articles from the blog were also published as a zine: De Tweede Sekse Blog op Papier
