Efflatoun's paintings address the hardships and oppressive conditions against which she agitated: images of textile workers at the loom; a hanged man, his hands bound behind him with rope; a mother at home with her newborn child; prisoners during her time.

Yoko Ono's phrase 'Woman is the nigger of the world' resonated deeply, becoming a feminist anthem despite its controversial nature and the challenges it faced in mainstream acceptance.

Across the anthropological record, no purely matriarchal society has ever been documented. Even in egalitarian societies, women's social influence typically remains less than that of high-status men.

Markus Schleinzer's film 'Rose' imagines the life of a woman in the 17th century who conceals her gender, portraying her as a scarred soldier returning from war. This character claims to be the heir to an abandoned farmstead, reflecting the struggles women faced in a male-dominated society.

Gladys Hynes was a protean rebel slaloming through early 20th-century Britain's avant-garde circles, training as a landscape and figure painter and later designing for Omega Workshops.

I'm the kind of historian obsessed with small details. I'm not saying that foreign policy or constitutional matters aren't important, but I enjoy the minutiae of daily life, which, when added together, can give you a complete picture of the cultural and social features of an era.

The DIVA Awards are set to be the biggest yet, celebrating LGBTQIA+ women and non-binary trailblazers across entertainment, politics, and business, featuring live performances and a live auction.

No one I know wants to go spend their one wild and magical life being a shill for some billionaire tech asshole, says Shannon, a character in Yesteryear, the buzzy new novel about a tradwife influencer by Caro Claire Burke.

Hite learned early on that women walk a sexual tightrope: 'If you had too much sex, you could be shunned like her mother was; if you didn't have enough, you could be deserted like her grandmother.'

The request is made in her signature Aussie drawl, something that musicians attempting to break into the international market would attempt to disguise in decades previous. Yet for the Amyl and the Sniffers frontwoman, everything from her peroxide mullet to proudly bogan background has become an important hallmark.

Hacks has won a slew of Emmys and a Peabody; accumulated acclaim from critics and a devoted fan base; propelled Jean Smart, Hannah Einbinder, and Megan Stalter to new levels of fame.

Gilman's essay Women and Economics, written in 1898, combined her feminist and socialist ideas with evolutionary theory, arguing that the seclusion of women to the domestic sphere is unjust and unprogressive.

The deeper I go, the more feminist I become! Yet my experience of academic philosophy has largely disclosed the opposite: a discipline that solemnly declares its devotion to openness proves curiously unsettled by me as a woman.

I create sculptural hairstyles using my natural hair as a material. I add some extensions, and shape it with thread and wire. A sculpture can take me from 30 minutes to more than six hours.

This idea that I became obsessed [with gender recognition reform] to the exclusion of everything else is just a nonsense thing that some of my opponents say.

Nellie attended Oakland High School when her family moved to a neighborhood outside of Chinatown after World War II, the beginnings of integration for ethnic Chinese residents who'd lived under the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882-1943). Her early life, into her late 20s, was rooted in the patriarchal culture in Chinatown and the white American mainstream. That oppression did not sustain her. Nellie's intelligence, creativity, and compassion yearned to break free.

"They look unrecognizable." Not for the first time, my friends and I were having a conversation about GLP-1s, a type of medication that has become widely used for weight loss. As we sat getting ready for my friend's wedding, the general consensus seemed to be that the drug was being overprescribed and was not a long-term solution for losing weight and keeping it off.

Gopnik's piece sent me back to John Ruskin, whom he cites as "the greatest of architectural critics." In "The Stones of Venice," Ruskin insists that buildings record not just the ideals of those who commissioned them but also the conditions of those who built them. The East Wing was grafted onto an original structure that was built in part by enslaved people. Its neoclassical form proclaimed republican ideals; its production betrayed them.

Younger people will tell you that it's embarrassing and old-fashioned - but the Miss France contest still has a prime-time Saturday night TV slot and attracts millions of viewers every year. Representatives for different regions have already been chosen and on Saturday night the new Miss France will be elected - with the contest a prime-time TV event that draws in millions of viewers. The TV show is expected to draw in around 7 million viewers and the Miss France final regularly makes it into the most-viewed TV lists.

Over 600 pages this memoir of sorts ranges from her childhood growing up in the Canadian backwoods to her grief at the death of her partner of 48 years, the writer Graeme Gibson, in 2019, with many friendships, the occasional spat and more than 50 books (including Cat's Eye, Alias Grace and the Booker prizewinning The Blind Assassin and The Testaments) in between.

Online platforms had become an extension of the romance plot, a public stage where intimacy was proof of worth, and coupledom was still the ultimate status symbol. Back then, my research showed that many people felt their lives had not truly begun until they'd met someone. Being single wasn't just a relationship status; it was an existential pause. To get a life, as the old saying went, meant to find a partner. Romance was the scaffolding of selfhood.

Recently, New York Times opinion columnist Ross Douthat moderated a debate on the Interesting Times podcast between Helen Andrews and Leah Libresco Sargeant, two conservative critics of modern feminism. The podcast received major blowback, starting with (but not ending with) the fact that the original headline of the conversation was "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?" Quickly, after the predictable backlash hit, the headline was changed to "Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace?"
