Sheila Jeffreys

“Free From All Uninvited Touch of Man”: women’s campaigns around sexuality 1880 – 1914 [Essay]

Sheila Jeffreys (born 1948) is a lesbian feminist scholar and professor of political science. Her influential writing spans four decades, challenging BDSM, trans identity, and critiquing the supposed empowerment of women via the 1970's Sexual Revolution.

Bikini Kill was formed in 1990 in Washington, USA. Part of the Riot Grrrl movement, the band started out by encouraging a female-centric atmosphere at their shows. They ushered women to the front of the crowd, passed our lyric sheets to them, and vocalist Kathleen Hanna would enter to the crowd to personally remove male hecklers.

After disbanding in 1997, they reunited in 2019 and have announced 2023 tour dates.

SITE UPDATES

Jan.16.2023 - [Issue #8] is up and I'm testing out a mobile-friendly version of the ezine. Work is still keeping me worn-out so I'm falling behind with updating the rest of the site and making new memes. But I won't stay down and out for long.



Jan.6.2023 - Issue #7 is here with a colorful new theme to celebrate the new year! I've added two new sections to the ezine - I'll be featuring a female musician and author each week in addition to a visual artist.



Jan.3.2023 - Fixed all typos on the main page. It was a brutal week at work in the real world and I was falling asleep sitting up while working on the update.
