In honor of women’s history month, issue number 6 of Vile Magazine features mail art by many, many women artists.  This issue includes a substantial essay from Anna Banana in which she reflects on her position as a female artist in the 1970s, postal art’s accessibility to marginalized artists, and her perspective on the sub-genres within Mail Art (postal art, correspondence art, and post card art). I’ve scanned the 8-page essay and turned it into a PDF (2 MB, let me know if you require a higher quality scan).  It is also available on Flickr.
