The Feminist Toilet is a literary magazine that celebrates and raises awareness about public health issues, specifically the toilet.
For the last few years, we have hosted a toilet themed celebrated on UN World Toilet Day (November 19, 2023). Some of them have been launch parties, others have been dinners and writing workshops.
We’ve partnered with the International Medical Corp, Poet Laureate of Los Angeles, Poet Laureate of West Hollywood, The Music Center DTLA, and have been official members of the World Toilet Organization.
We’ve also been featured in the WeHo Times and Arts Beat LA.
We have three issues and documentary:
