Spinifex Press is an independent feminist book publisher based in Australia[1][2]. It was established in March 1991 by Renate Klein and Susan Hawthorne. It has over 200 titles in print and publishes both fiction and non-fiction that is innovative and controversial.[3][4] It specialises in subjects of feminist interest including lesbian literature, women’s health, writing by indigenous, Asian and African women and books discussing ecology, globalisation, violence against women, prostitution and pornography. Spinifex was one of the earliest Australian publishers to adapt to new technologies by offering a web based catalogue and enabling on-line purchase of all titles. It has been publishing ebooks since 2006.[3]
Spinifex Press celebrated its 25th anniversary in September 2016 with a 2 day conference for radical feminists culminating in the drafting of a radical feminist manifesto. [5][6]
