NOTE FROM EDITOR // Read an excerpt from the December issue Letter from the Editor on the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine website today. Danijela Krha Purssey discusses why she chose @janabrike’s moving painting for the cover of this issue. How she feels it speaks to the beauty, strength and resilience of the feminine – which is particularly important during these times of escalating oppression and violence against women and female identifying people around the world. She writes: “As a 47 year old woman, I am devastated to see our hard won rights being stripped away. It seems the fight is not over, so we continue, even at the risk of their own lives - we can never not be vigilant, we can never stop fighting for our basic human rights - the right to bodily autonomy, to live and love as we choose, the right to education, equal rights in the workplace and in government, and the freedom to pursue the life we choose for ourselves. We stand, and we fight with all of our sisters around the world!” Read Danijela’s full blog today on www.beautifulbizarre.net {link in our profile].
