Hail Dora!

In honor of International Women’s Day, I thought I might point out a powerful symphony written by the Croatian composer, Dora Pejačević (1885-1923). The Symphony in F-sharp minor for large orchestra, Op. 41 (1916 – 1917, rev. 1920; dedicated to her mother baroness Lilla Vay de Vaya), is a sweeping composition and the culmination of her orchestral writing. Pejačević has a substantial body of work,…

Lessons Learned - A Poem

You are the first woman that I knew in my life. Not only did you raise me, but you taught me lessons that are more valuable as the years go onward. You taught me that kindness is a very special magic. Every time you soothed a hurt with a kiss or a soft touch, I immediately felt better. I realized that kindness was like that; it may seem hard to do, but it’s the small acts of…

The Perfect Victim and Society's Fixation on Blaming Women

Guinevere Beck from the Netflix series You is as contentious in the fanbase as she is ordinary in the world of the show. The fact is, she is written to be an everywoman. And those same traits are so often used to say that she deserved to die.

Daily writing promptWhat is the last thing you learned?View all responses                 Society has a lot of opinions on how women should behave at any given moment, even leading up to their death. People these women have never even met or would care to meet in their fictional or oftentimes all too real lives develop all sorts of theories about how they deserve to die or be harmed, brutally,…

Beyond The Ink: Make Mine Milkshake

For #InternationalWomensDay, I'm paying tribute to @HeatherAntos, Fabulous Flo, @Marvel and #MakeMineMilkshake for helping me find my way!

March is Women’s History Month. I’ve been pretty vocal since starting to write about comics about the struggles of being a woman in the heavily male-dominated industry of comics. So I figured this would be a good time to do some brief spotlights into the characters, creatives, and movements that sparked my passion for comic books and the pop culture industry. At this point in my life (and my…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDVII

8th March was International Women’s Day.  It would also seem that March is Women’s History Month.  It would have been nice to actually have been informed of that.  Anyway, this edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show celebrates and commemorates the role of women in Metal. This one doesn’t just look backwards. I’m not looking at the already established. That’s why Doro, Nightwish, Butcher Babies,…
