Reviews
The Avengers' focus on lesbian visibility and survival achieved through attention-grabbing non-violent direct action is as relevant as ever. I appreciated the clear layout of political principles; the list of things to consider when planning an action; the basic structure of meeting/committees/two coordinators for getting things done; and the tips for running a meeting. The communiques, which I had never seen, were fascinating pieces of history, revealing the range of creative, often zany actions through which the Avengers made their name. The LACROP reflections were intriguing, too, for what they revealed about the tensions between urban and rural styles of organizing, documenting a process of erring, reflecting, and coming back stronger. Finally, as a kind of Sarah Schulman scholar/archivist, I read this document with an extra layer of fascination. The description of who the Avengers are intended for (including those who want to "take responsibility on a regular basis, have their minds blown, [and] change their opinions" is like Conflict is Not Abuse in a nutshell. I began to wonder if the LA Handbook wasn't also a kind of Cliff's notes for her current work, Let the Record Show, especially the handbook's emphasis on staying away from abstract theoretical discussion in favor of focusing on concrete goals, and on working with people who share key points of affinity without insisting that everyone think the same thing. I am excited to use this amazing quasi-historical document in my classes and to share it with comrades, especially younger people just starting out. The concrete, sensible, and accessible tips for action-planning were lodestones when I began organizing in the mid-2010s (back then I was working from an internet PDF off zinelibrary). Those lessons are just as helpful today for anyone who wants to move from conviction to action but isn't sure where to start.

Synopsis
Launched in New York City, in 1992, the Lesbian Avengers rejected the picket line and ordinary demo for media-savvy, nonviolent direct action. They were superheroes arriving "to make the world safe for baby dykes everywhere;" warriors with capes and shields doing a line dance; dykes "Lusting for Power," pushing a giant bed float down Sixth Avenue in New York (with lesbians on it); nationally-ambitious Avengers eating fire in front of a hostile White House; lovers reuniting a statue of Alice B. Toklas with Gertrude Stein, then waltzing in the snow in Bryant Park. And homos who shamelessly chanted, "Ten percent is not enough, recruit, recruit, recruit." It only took a few years for the Lesbian Avengers to grow into a global movement with sixty autonomous chapters worldwide all working for the visibility and survival of lesbians, and all sharing an irreverent direct action aesthetic, eagerly dipping into agitprop and advertising and theater, in ways that still feel ground-breaking today. Key to their success-the tools they developed to help lesbians understand and reproduce the Avenger action. One was the 1993 documentary video, Lesbian Avengers Eat Fire Too, which offered the why, the who, and the what, featuring interviews with Avengers, and sharing actions from their first year. Another was this book, The Lesbian Avenger Handbook: A Handy Guide to Homemade Revolution, which offers step-by-step instructions for everything from how to hold a meeting to how to envision an action and wrangle the press-expertise gleaned from Avengers working in journalism, advertising, art, and theater, as well as long-time activists who honed their skills protesting the Viet Nam war, the abuse of farmworkers, forced sterilization of women of color, and bans on abortion, and who'd already, in some cases, led civil disobedience in ACT-UP. This new edition of The Lesbian Avenger Handbook offers the bulk of this extraordinary resource unchanged, though it acknowledged advances in technology for activists still using it today. Important bonus material has also been included, including tips for demonstrating when civil rights are being trampled. Also featured, An Incomplete History of LACROP (the Lesbian Avenger Civil Rights Organizing Project), and excerpts from their Out Against the Right: An Organizing Handbook, important historical documents offering hard-won insights about dyke organizing and the importance of building community for long-term social change. With dozens of new pages of Avenger newsletters, Communiqués from the Frontlines, and the inclusion of the Dyke Manifesto, the Handbook also serves as a Lesbian Avenger history told in their own words. The 1993 edition of the Handbook was written by the novelist and essayist Sarah Schulman, and edited by Ana Simo, playwright and novelist, both among the co-founders of the group. The current edition is introduced and edited by journalist and founding member Kelly Cogswell., Launched in New York City, in 1992, the Lesbian Avengers rejected the picket line and ordinary demo for media-savvy, nonviolent direct action.
