In Progress

In February 1994, Ms. magazine ran an article "Where do we Stand on Pornography?" Ms. gathered a group of prominent US feminists to discuss the issue of pornography and censorship. Three years later, many of the arguments still hold true. In the Asia-Pacific region, the issues of pornography and censorship are taking center stage. We decided to rerun excerpts of this article as the issues are the same and, as in this article, the positions among feminists in the Asian region are also diverse.

The feminists in the roundtablc discussion article were:

Andrea Dworkin, author of 10 books including Pornography: Men Possessing Women and Letters From a War Zone.
Marilyn French, author of The Women's Room, The War Against Women and From Eve Till Dawn.
Norma Ramos, a lawyer and anti-pornography and environmental justice movements activist.
Ntozake Shange, author of Brilliane and the play "for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf."
Marcia Ann Gillespie, editor of Ms.
There was no mformation on Gloria Jacobs.
