Leslie Feinberg's classic transgender novel, Stone Butch Blues (Firebrand 1993), is coming out in fall 2003 in a new edition from Alyson Publications. Related topics: Transgender Warrior website.

Beyond the Pale by Elana Dykewomon, $15.95, 416 pp, republished by Raincoast Books (September 2003). Originally published in 1997 by the feminist Press Gang Publishers in Vancouver, this has become an underground classic. Set in the early twentieth century, Beyond the Pale follows the lives of two women: Gutke Gurvich, who apprentices as a midwife in Russia before immigrating to New York City; and Chava Meyer, also a Russian Jew, whose birth is attended by Gutke. Chava survives a pogrom that takes the lives of her parents, then she too immigrates to a life of labour, activism and love in New York City. One extraordinary section of the book deals with the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in which more than 100 women were killed, an event that led to one of the first International Women's Day marches and changed labour legislation in the United States.

Elana Dykewomon was born in New York City in 1949 and now lives in Oakland, California. Her novel Riverfinger Women was recently reissued. She is the former editor of Sinister Wisdom.
