Call for Submissions: Labour

Creating Room for 35 volumes has been for many a labour of love, and because of this, we've chosen the theme of labour for the closing issue of Room's anniversary volume, issue 35.4, to be edited by Lorrie Miller.

We are looking for quality writing and art that reflect all aspects of labour: labours of love, birth, women in the labour movement, as well as traditional and non-traditional women's work.

Deadline: May 30, 2012
