Zinn Reader
June 14, 2011

Christian Science Monitor on #StiegandEva
June 14, 2011
The Swedish architect and author will be holding book-signing events in major cities across the US following her book’s June 21 publication by Seven Stories Press. Her tour will include New York; San Francisco; Seattle; and Washington, D.C. In New York, she will be interviewed by Gloria Steinem, the author and feminist activist (who says Garbrielsson’s book is “not to be missed”), and in the nation’s capital she will participate in a “literature evening” with NPR’s Diane Rehm.
“Her story is about the life she shared with Stieg Larsson,” according to the Swedish Embassy, which is hosting the Washington, D.C., event, “the man everyone wants to know more about, and about whom so little is known.” But the woman we know even less about also plans to use the trip, according to friends, to discuss issues that matter to her. —Christian Science Monitor on Eva Gabrielsson

#StiegandEva: Twitter interview with Eva Gabrielsson
June 14, 2011
Click here to ask Eva Gabrielsson a question on Twitter!
“There Are Things I Want You to Know” about Stieg Larsson and Me is a book about politics and love, about coffee and conversation, about writing and friendship, and about Stieg Larsson and Eva Gabrielsson, the woman who shared the Millennium Trilogy author’s life for thirty years.
In honor of the June 21 publication of the book, Seven Stories Press is offering readers of Eva and of Millennium the chance to ask Eva Gabrielsson the questions they’ve always wanted to ask about her life with Stieg, the Millennium trilogy’s genesis and its future, and her thoughts about the meaning of the life’s work she and Stieg shared: the work of their political commitment and action against fascism, political corruption, and the systematic oppression of women, work in which the Millennium books (originally titled “Men Who Hate Women” in Sweden) played only one small part.
Questions for Eva should be posted on Twitter using the hashtag #StiegandEva, (which will also be used to mark media coverage and event notices for the book.) Only questions posted before 11:59 PM on Monday, June 20 will be considered.
Eva Gabrielsson will then record a video response to her favorite of the questions, which will be released on June 28 in this space and across the Internet.
Thanks very much for those who choose to participate: now, what are the things you want to know about #StiegandEva?

Rose author, Inga Muscio, at Village Books in Bellingham, WA
June 8, 2011
June 8, 2011, Inga Muscio will be at Village Books in Bellingham, WA, discussing her latest work Rose. With trademark precision and razor-sharp wit, Muscio explores the impacts of passive violence, abuse, war, and cultural trauma on our most intimate lives in order to uncover a path toward healthy and imaginative sex and love. Rose breaks new ground in answering a fundamental question in most feminist and antiracist writing: how do we identify, witness, and then recover from trauma—as individuals, as families, as communities, and as a country? Location: 1200 11th Street Bellingham, WA 98225. For more information go to www.villagebooks.com.

She is a much-beloved leader of a movement that seeks to stop the hyper-medicalization of birth—which has lead to nearly a third of hospital births in America to be cesarean sections—and renew confidence in a woman’s natural ability to birth.
