Eve in Hand Contributor Guidelines

Eve in Hand strives to challenge dominant structures and processes of power. We also look beyond traditional representations of those structures and processes because first, they are inauthentic, and second, they perpetuate constructs that inhibit personal and societal fulfillment and well-being.

While creating one forum for political activism is one goal of Eve in Hand, we strive to focus more on promoting divergent paradigms than by critiquing existing ones. Toward achieving this goal, there are almost infinite possibilities, so we offer to artists and writers the following identity statement:

1. Eve in Hand is a Feminist publication largely, though not exclusively informed by Individualist Feminism, which seeks the emancipation of all people.
2. Eve in Hand maintains as its primary goal the positive representation of women and girls. While we play, love, and labor to represent and support all people regardless of gender or sexual orientation, we believe that a culture that supports and promotes women and girls will demonstrate from its core to its periphery encouragement of, and opportunity to all people.

When submitting work of any medium, please be aware that with respect to women, Eve in Hand encourages contributions that do not rely upon conventional gender assumptions. We look upon simplistic gender role reversal as a different bearer of the same coin.

Examples of obsolete representation of women are those in which their identities are negated, such as photographs framed to present subjects as headless, etc.

Women are active. Girls are agents of change. We believe action more accurately reflects our lives than recumbent poses exclusively.
