There's an interesting article in this month's issue of "Mother Jones" on birth defects--any expecting types out there might want to read it. Incidentally, this particular magazine, while occasionally tending to be a bit shrill, often has some very good reading on the subject of women in our society; in addition, it contains articles on other subjects which apparently are too controversial to make it in the more "mainstream" magazines. Check it out.

Check it out. I would like to second that. Mother Jones happens to have 2 very prominent feminists having very influential positions: Deirdre English who is executive editor and Barbara Eirenreich (whose position in Mother Jones, I am not too sure of). Unlike most "serious" magazines, Mother Jones seems to have many women participating in the running of the magazine (in fact women outnumber men 3 to 1 in top positions in the magazine), which of course doesn't mean much about the magazine except that it is unusual. Mother Jones herself, of course was a feminist. Sophie Quigley ...!{clyde,ihnp4,decvax}!watmath!saquigley
