Pre-orders are now being taken.
I’m going to print with the book “Tokin’ Women: A 4000-Year Herstory” featuring short biographies of over 50 ganga goddesses from Ishtar to Miley Cyrus (list below). Each biography will be accompanied by a photo or illustration. See sample pages
To go into print, I need high-resolution images and I want them to be as extraordinary as these women are! I’ve found many photos in public domain, and have combed various sources and come up with prices for the images I’d like to use that require licensing.
I need a $150 sponsor for this great Dean Chakley photo of Chrissie Hynde.
Angels receive credit (if desired) and 3 copies of the book.
SUPER SUPPORTER
I found photos of each of these women for $75:
Barbra Streisand
Sue Mengers
Jennifer Aniston
Supporters at this level will receive 2 copies of the book.
BARGAIN HUNTER’S SPECIAL
I found some bargain shots of these ladies for only $33 each:
Joan Rivers
Roseanne Barr
Sponsors for these photos will receive one copy of the book.
I can bill you through my PayPay account, whether or not you have PayPal (just provide your email address). Donations can also be made to:
Ellen Komp
Evangelista Sista Press
POB 5172
Berkeley, CA 94705
If there’s extra green energy about, I could use donations of any amount for printing and shipping costs. I will also be making the book available for pre-orders very soon. Alternatively, if anyone has photos they can donate to this project, please let me know! And if anyone is able to help promote the book, please contact me.
This work is the culmination of over 10 years of research, much of it published on this blog or at www.VeryImportantPotheads.com. My aim, as always, is to broaden our knowledge base and raise awareness. With California heading for a ballot initiative in 2016, we’ll need women’s votes now more than ever!
When I give presentations on my research, women come up to me and say, “You’ve made me feel a part of something.” Here’s a great chance for all of us to be a part of Herstory. If you’d like to know more, or set up a PayPal payment, please write ellen@veryimportantpotheads.com
