Having witnessed my fair share of of campus controversies and scandals over the past three years, I’m sometimes hesitant to admit how unilaterally positive my college experience has been—as enormous a privilege as it is to attend Scripps, it takes even more personal privilege to be able to say that I love being a Scripps student […]

The pre-show ends; the lights dim; the audience shivers with antici…pation. There is no popcorn in sight, though some of us have packed a slice of toast. As the opening musical number begins, a pair of red lips fills the screen… and one of the live actors strides in front to begin a striptease. Welcome […]

    Photo Credit to Rupi Kaur You may have seen this picture recently doing the rounds on the internet, an image meant to provoke and raise questions about the taboos and restrictions surrounding menstruation – a part of many women’s life.

  It’s almost spring break, which means it’s the perfect time to shove those textbooks aside and pull out some good old-fashioned Young Adult fiction.   I’m an incurable book recommender, but also the kind of book recommender who, as a second-semester junior, starts thinking she should have been a sociology major with a concentration […]

Once again, we’re at that point in the LASPA Center search process where we await an announcement of who has been selected as director for the center, which has been slated to launch later this year.

After countless Batman and Superman films (and even more to come) DC announces that the very first ever live action Wonder Woman movie will be released in 2017. Given the lack of female-led movies, and especially female-led superhero movies, this is a cause for celebration. For a long time Hollywood has been in the mindset […]

Here is Buzzfeed to the rescue, with a handy article comparing the prices of women’s products to men’s products. http://www.buzzfeed.com/maitlandquitmeyer/lady-products-that-cost-more-than-their-male-counterparts#2soimul As a female consumer, Buzzfeed’s article was not […]

“She is always listening.” “Who is always listening?” I asked my Grandmother. It was the first time I had ever heard someone refer to God as “she.” I spent most of my childhood praying to a superman figure named “Father,” “Lord,” and sometimes, “The Big Guy Upstairs.” His picture loomed above my bed’s headboard.  In […]
