Ethical Fashion: The Quick and Dirty
I talked with several of our readers over the weekend regarding the Ethical Fashion article we published a few months back. They spoke about wanting to commit to more ethically conscious shopping habits but didn’t know where to start. So I’ve decided to compile a few easy tips to remember the next time you purchase new frocks … Continue reading Ethical Fashion: The Quick and Dirty
Whose Bass Is It Anyway? (Or, The Problem with Pop’s Empowerment Anthems)
This article was originally written as a producer piece for Things Not Seen. This summer, a wave of up-beat, supposedly empowering pop songs came out. A similar outpouring of self-esteem boosting anthems happened in 2011, with Lady Gaga’s “Born this Way,” Katy Perry’s “Fireworks,” and Pink’s “Perfect.” The music industry has apparently discovered that inspiring … Continue reading Whose Bass Is It Anyway? (Or, The Problem with Pop’s Empowerment Anthems)
On Sweet Valley High, Chris Brown, and Being a Bad Feminist with Roxane Gay
I came to realize that I might be a “bad feminist” around the same time Beyoncé’s surprise album dropped. I loved the album. I mean, I liked Beyoncé a lot before the 13th of December 2013, but the album led me towards a whole new realm of fangirldom. As always, the tuneage was excellent, but what got me … Continue reading On Sweet Valley High, Chris Brown, and Being a Bad Feminist with Roxane Gay
Ladies We Love: Roxane Gay
I owe a lot to Roxane Gay. Her thoughtful pieces on current events and pop culture allow me to think more clearly about my own feelings on these topics in the news. I can't tell you how many times her Salon.com articles have saved me from being an inarticulate rage monster on social media, spewing … Continue reading Ladies We Love: Roxane Gay
Ladies We Love: Emmy the Great
About six years ago, a friend gave me a mix CD (remember those?) with recordings of SXSW performances, including tracks from a set by Emmy the Great (the stage name of London-based songstress Emma-Lee Moss). Ten seconds into the first song, "We Almost Had a Baby," I had chills running down my spine. "Well you didn't … Continue reading Ladies We Love: Emmy the Great
Theft, Cocaine, and Tavi Gevinson: A Review of Lonergan’s This Is Our Youth
I managed to restrict myself to only one Arrested Development joke during Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s production of This is Our Youth, which speaks to how much I liked Kenneth Lonergan’s play. Directed by Anna D. Shapiro and starring George Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin, and Tavi Gevinson, the show will move from Chicago to Broadway at the Cort Theatre in Fall … Continue reading Theft, Cocaine, and Tavi Gevinson: A Review of Lonergan’s This Is Our Youth
Ladies We Love: Brett Day Windham
With a portfolio as varied and expansive as the collection of items she uses for her installations, artist Brett Day Windham never ceases to amaze me with her creations. You may be familiar with her work with the Bergdorf Goodman windows—or the corresponding documentary, Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's—but this lady's got so much more … Continue reading Ladies We Love: Brett Day Windham
On the Corner of Faith and Feminism: An Inclusive Alternative to Femen’s Goals
Originally, this piece appeared as an essay for a Women’s and Gender Studies class. The content has been modified slightly to better fit an online format for a broader audience. Janet Soskice opens Feminism and Theology with the observation that “it is no secret that some feminists regard the term ‘feminist theology’ as an oxymoron.” Soskice acknowledges … Continue reading On the Corner of Faith and Feminism: An Inclusive Alternative to Femen’s Goals
Speaking Truth to Power: Thanking Anita Hill
It's an unfortunate fact that as a woman, I'm entirely too familiar with being sexually harassed. Every day, I fear unwelcome advances as I walk to work, lingering and inappropriate grazes as I squeeze into a subway car, even catcalls as I open the door to my own home. But as a young woman who … Continue reading Speaking Truth to Power: Thanking Anita Hill
