Let's Get Right To It...

Who are we? We're a concerned, creative, amazing group of MSU students and more. We are an independent group cosponsored by the Women's Center, WMGS department, Health Promotions, and SPECTRUMS. We are causing a scene to create a scene. We are Femme Vitales.


Throughout this next year, we are planning an intense initiative to raise feminist consciousness on campus through a series of venues.

In an effort to raise feminist consciousness on campus, we are self-publishing a feminist-themed zine, which draws upon the resources and interests of Montclair State University’s diverse student population as well as our surrounding community organizations. One immediate goal of the zine is to accumulate students who already identify as feminists, and give them a tangible outlet to voice concerns and become a political presence through the creative, open outlet that the nature of zine production provides; our primary goal, however, is to reach those who are either apathetic or hostile towards the feminist movement in a fun, accessible format that at once makes feminist activism realistic and exciting. We will approach an apprehensive audience with a view of feminism that is specifically relevant to New Jersey college students.

Our zine's debut issue will coincide with another big event we're excited for. While the zine will have a direct feminist message, broken down to address a mainstream audience, and edited by a group of students, this Spring we will also be hosting a Femme Festival. The six-day Festival will take place in April 2011 and address different aspects of the female experience.


We are currently planning our first meeting date, which will also be a chance for us to talk, craft samplers for our fundraisers, and eat free food.  Oh yes, there will be free food.  More to come on...

• updates to the FEMME Festival schedule--set to take place the week of April 4, 2011; 
• volunteer opportunities;
• group meetings;
• fundraiser details; 
• zine articles; 
• and more! 

 We will also be accepting applications for...

•  zine submissions;
• fashion show designers; 
• craft fair tablers; 
• and coffee house performers.  

Oh, and did we mention we'll also be selling spots in a burlesque workshop, where you can learn all the classic burlesque moves... from a professional burlesque dancer?  Tickets will be offered at a discounted price for MSU students.
