The library was to hold material relating to women's work, too. This year's centenary is an opportunity to celebrate the institution's unique holdings.

The deeper I go, the more feminist I become! Yet my experience of academic philosophy has largely disclosed the opposite: a discipline that solemnly declares its devotion to openness proves curiously unsettled by me as a woman.

A chief tenet of liberation is the freedom to define oneself while being accorded the rights and privileges established and guaranteed under law and social standing.

By 2024, the share of same-sex couple households increased to about 1.0% of all U.S. households, or 1.4 million, double the number of same-sex households in 2005.

We are now realising we deserve more and for me it's teaching women what to say so they get taken seriously. Women on the whole - I wasn't - aren't very good at standing up for ourselves.

Founded in 2014 as a tongue-in-cheek alternative to the esteemed Whitney Biennial, the Every Woman Biennial has evolved into an intergenerational showcase that mixes emerging talent with established feminist art stars while maintaining the scrappy, activist energy that inspired it in the first place.

But a person I recognized immediately when I came into the room, I looked down, I said, because I didn't read. I can't prep if I prepare my speeches, I won't have time to get things done, you know? Yeah, I cannot prepare. So I didn't know who the hell I was speaking to, but I walked in and saw this beautiful woman with the blonde hair.

Exploring Transgender Identity in South Carolina is a candid photographic and interview-based documentation of transgender life in South Carolina. This project offers a contemporary visual record of a community that exists largely outside of that narrative yet within its realities.

The president spent the weekend celebrating the death of one of his political foes, former special counsel and FBI Director Robert Mueller, posting, 'Good. I'm glad he's dead,' on social media.

Parents and grandparents of trans youth, plus their therapists and medical providers, are fed up after years of health care bans and hostile rhetoric. Those feelings are driving them to do things they've never done before - like plan to get arrested at a protest.

For years, we've watched politicians express unfounded concern about trans people in bathrooms, changing rooms, and sports, claiming to protect women's safety. Yet when a billionaire with enormous political influence creates technology that is actively being used to violate thousands of women and children right now, the response has been empty statements and promises to 'look into it',

Art, at its very best, reminds me that there is a world out there that I not only belong to but trust - perhaps even love. Sandra Vázquez de la Horra's beeswax-dipped drawings of erupting women, mystical landscapes, and hallucinatory flora in The Awake Volcanoes at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, did just that. Oh, that old mystery of finding oneself reflected in the material fragments of someone else's private imaginary.

Julia's friends remember the support and advice she so willingly provided, whether it was nursing or financial. Her activism could be quiet and private, or public and loud. She believed in women's rights, quietly encouraged financial independence for her women friends, marched down Market Street in support of PFLAG, and was featured in the first statewide television commercial for the No on 8 campaign.

Since its founding, Supermajority has contacted more than 20 million women voters, organizing for candidates including Democratic Govs. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Katie Hobbs of Arizona and Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, as well as for then-Vice President Kamala Harris' unsuccessful presidential bid last year. The group plans to connect its volunteers with other organizations that do grassroots organizing work, starting with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Professionally, the impact was absolute. For decades, I managed complex IT projects for global giants and, most recently, for Sanford Health. I am a builder of systems. But this year, I watched the federal government systematically dismantle the data structures that acknowledge LGBTQ+ people exist. When the administration stopped collecting Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) data, it wasn't just a policy change; it was an erasure.
