Folio. (8)ff. Two sheets of newsprint, folded, make this a decidedly popular and democratic object, putting performance directly in the hands of women. Illustrated instructions guide the user in building their own personal cranky theater out of paper towel tubes, a shoebox, and two copies of the publication; within are additional pointers on constructing a full-size version out of wood. The promise of a complete performance includes, too, sound direction and personnel requirements. After some assembling, the user turns the spooled illustrated strips to project a moving panorama of women's world history, which concludes with a clarion call for feminist action and, at the very end, a demand to free Angela Davis. Some toning, else a fine copy.
