Eleventh Carnival of Feminists

Well its that time again; time for the latest Carnival. Lost Clown over at Angry for a Reason has done a fantastic job of putting together the 11th Carnival of Feminists, do check it out. I will have to restrain myself from reading all of the posts for the moment in order to get anything done today, but here are a few that caught my eye:

FrankenGirl has done a wonderful spoof of that dreadful Oscars song with "It's Hard Out Here for a Feminist".

Uma March from How the Other Half Lives has written an extremely informative post on Pregnancy in India:

India alone accounts for over twenty per cent of all maternal and child deaths in the world every year. Of the 30 million women in India who experience pregnancy annually, some 136,000 women die of pregnancy or childbirth-related complications every year. [...] That is, one woman dies every five minutes from a pregnancy-related causes.

Natalie at Philobiblon asks "Is 'Red' America destroying itself by removing its women's autonomy?", and explores the economic impact of encouraging women to marry early.

Finally, (for now) Clare at The Ninth Wave writes about the need to end the in-fighting within the feminist movement in "Sorry Ladies, but this isn't working".

The next Carnival will be at Written Word on the 5th of April. Ragnell has now posted her call for submissions:

Requirements: Any posts written to address a woman's place in the world from a feminist point of view are welcome. The optional and arbitary catergories for this issue will be Influences, Inpirations, Culture Reversal and Other. Deadline is April 3rd and I'll be accepting posts made after the last deadline of March 20th.
