Feminist Dialogues is typical of women making good an opportunity. Some of us met for the World Social Forum, started a dialogue under a tree, continued it across cyberspace and organised a transnational meeting. It is also typical of the informal networking and collective organising of the women’s movement. For us, this is an exciting venture and it will be a challenging one. A feminist space can be dynamic, chaotic and vibrant as women from different contexts, countries and campaigns interact on some topical and contentious issues. There will be immense problems but also the elation of meeting and sharing. And that is what makes it worthwhile.
