Talk:The Russ Test

From Fanlore
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Fish cites a quote, but I've looked at Jan 1979, Feb 1980, and March 1980 issues of MS and cannot locate this quote: "The crucial test of feminism in a work is the presence of at least two women who are friendly. Not one, and not two who are rivals. Male works which try (sometimes honestly) to be feminist almost invariable focus of the woman-man couple among male colleagues. The secret of feminism is what happens when women talk to women, advise women, love women. The two may be lovers, friends, friendly strangers, or friendly colleagues, but this is the absolute precondition for (a) feminism or (b) truth." Joanna Russ, quoted in 'MS'. Feb. 1980 issue, pg. 36." -- any ideas of where else to look? --MPH (talk) 19:31, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

"MS" I took to mean "Ms. Magazine." --MPH (talk) 14:02, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
I'm still trying to find the source of this quote. Any ideas? MPH 14:27, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
