Letterpress printer/artist Jessica Spring and author Chandler O’Leary present their book and series of prints Dead Feminists: Historic Heroines in Living Color via zoom webinar in honor of International Women’s Day, March 8, from 1 to 2 PM (PST).
Featuring quotes by historical feminists tied to current political and social issues, each of their limited-edition broadsides is letterpress printed from hand-drawn lettering and illustrations.
