Anne McCaffrey - Scifi Author & Worldbuilder

Her novel, The White Dragon was one of the first science fiction novels to enter the New York Times Best Seller list.

Bikini Kill - Riot Grrrl Punk Rock
Bikini Kill - Rebel Girl
Watch on Youtube
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.

Demonstrators from Women’s March and the Madison Abortion and Reproductive Rights Coalition for Healthcare (MARRCH) will commemorate the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade by demonstrating at the State Capitol. Over 100 “sister marches” are scheduled nationwide for January 22.
Vinesh Phogat decided to go public with allegations of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh after several other young women came forward, claiming repeated harassment by camp coaches.
On November 2, 2022, three women sat in chambers while oral arguments were held and stood up to interupt speakers in protest to support Roe V. Wade one by one. Each was escorted out of the room and were recently sentenced to one-year probation with orders to stay away from the U.S. Supreme Court house.
