Should We Care What Women Wear?

2010-09-01T08:23:55Z

One thing I love about Feminism today is that it feels so inclusive; The modern feminism umbrella is so wide that all kinds of feminists are provided shelter.

Joan Mitchell: Over here and demanding your attention

2010-08-19T23:58:05Z

I get a thrill from learning about kick-ass creative females, so you can imagine how glad I was that tonight’s Culture Show had a whole segment devoted to abstract expressionist painter Joan Mitchell. Now, I must admit that I had not heard about Mitchell before… but this is not so surprising since, whilst she has been [...]
