In addition to the French and English versions of my article on the gaslighting of Eastern Europe, there are now new translations in Spanish, Esperanto, Farsi, Bulgarian and one forthcoming in Dutch. I love publishing with Le Monde Diplomatique because of its international reach. This is also my first article in Esperanto (that I know of).
A new translation of Red Valkyries!
And the first translation is out!
I’m happy that the Italian translation is being reviewed and drumming up some interest in the lives of these five fascinating women. ( Click on the screenshots below to read them)
The Japanese translation of Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence is coming out in May, and they have changed the title to “Maybe it's capitalism that's keeping you from enjoying sex.” This image is the lonely woman under capitalism surrounded by her purchases and is an interesting twist of the themes of the book.
So thrilled to see a Spanish translation of this 2018 article that I wrote with my former student, Julia Mead.
So excited to learn that Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism will now have an Albanian translation. That’s the 15th foreign edition, and the 14th translation!

Today, I also received 8 copies of the Slovak translation of Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence, seen here with my autographed photo of the first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova. I didn’t realize that this cover had a hole in it and inside was an image of a stamp in honor of Tereshkova.
The French translation of Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence (POURQUOI LES FEMMES ONT UNE MEILLEURE VIE SEXUELLE SOUS LE SOCIALISME: Plaidoyer pour l’indépendance économique) is coming in October from Lux Éditeur.

I’m happy to announce the impending publication of Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence in Russian by Alpina Non-fiction. Below is the cover and you can find an excerpt here.
Forthcoming in October with www.luxediteur.com.
So glad to see Valentina Tereshkova’s face floating like a moon in a sky of pink, but it is funny (and not surprising) that the Slovaks cut off the part of her helmet that read “CCCP.”
Seen here with some decorative motherf*@%ing gourds.
