Abstract
In February 1979, Wendy Mulford’s Street Editions released a 200-copy second edition of No Fee: A line or two for free, a chapbook of poems coauthored by Mulford and Denise Riley.1 No Fee had first been issued in 1978 for an art opening at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London; the second edition was released to coincide with the inaugural “Women’s Week” in Cambridge. Women’s Week included film screenings, talks, panels, workshops, an art exhibition, and a “women only” performance of music and poetry, with readings by Mulford, Riley, Judy Carey, Julia Dale, and Angela Carter “or bring your own.”2
