[email protected] +1-215-925-4390 • www.oldcitypublishing.com L EttErs to thE E ditor Dear Jennifer: I contacted you many months ago now to pitch myself as a reviewer for the Women’s Review of Books . Lord, how I wish we could have a long dinner together and I could tell you all that was set in motion by those couple of emails. As I said then, I am 64 and have never been married. I have made my way in two professions and pretty much eschewed the whole Women’s Movement. I will admit that I initially felt the WRB was an angry platform ... but I made myself read through and I ended up feeling that I was terribly lucky compared to what other women have experienced. Then, in the September-October issue, you had me at Rachel Carson. She and others, like Adelle Davis, were my heroes. I also realized that I was part of a Wave! I was the first woman in my county to be a part of the horticulture community. I think about growing up in the early sixties, being a hippie, and how conflicted I was about doing the “right” thing, whether it was getting married or just being a human being. Back then, I felt my options were limited; I just knew there was an apron and diapers waiting for me. Recently, a man was very rude to me at the State Fair—he thought that I had cut in line and even threw food at me. I went after him with a sun umbrella. I just snapped. I knew that I could be arrested and I did not care. Shortly after that, I watched the TV series Dietland , in which men who have been legally cleared of harassment fall through the skies to splat on the pavement. I loved the concept of men being afraid and constantly wonder what it will take to change the ingrained attitudes men have toward women. As I have become occupied with women’s status as human beings, my thoughts surprise me. My memories of dealing with inequality and unwanted behavior seems more real now than it did “back then,” when it was happening. The sting, now, is fully felt. I even got my first tattoo. Just before my brother was deployed to Vietnam in 1971, he sent me a message—”Keep the Faith”—which is now tattooed on the inside of my forearm. My apologies for this being rather long but something has awakened in me—after years of avoiding feminism, now it is on my radar and my mind won’t let it go.

  • Ani Difranco's Musical Structuring of Subjectivity and Pleasure in Dilate
    Dilating on Life: Ani DiFranco's Musical Structuring of Subjectivity and Pleasure in Dilate. by Adelia Honeywood Harrison B.M., The Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester, 1993. A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Music; Historical Musicology) We accept thi^thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 2000 © Adelia Honeywood Harrison, 2000 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date Agrii atJmn DE-6 (2/88) Abstract The experience of subjectivity provided by an art form can consist of the sense of "recognizing ourselves, our feelings, our bodies, our beliefs, or our social positions" in the art work (Middleton, 1990). For fans of guitarist-singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, the identification with a subjective reality experienced in her music is powerful and pleasurable enough to inspire them with ardent devotion. Ani DiFranco's influence may not be simply reduced to her media image as a bisexual feminist, with fanatically obsessive and possessive fans, who has achieved stunning financial success completely independent of any major recording label.

  • Women Singer-Songwriters As Exemplary Actors: the Music of Rape and Domestic Violence
    Women Singer-Songwriters as Exemplary Actors: The Music of Rape and Domestic Violence KATHANNE W. GREENE At the 2016 Oscars, Lady Gaga, joined onstage by fifty rape survivors, performed the song “Til It Happens to You.” The Oscar-nominated song by Lady Gaga and Diane Warren was written for The Hunting Ground, a documentary film about campus sexual assault. Over thirty-one million people viewed the Oscar performance, which brought some in the audience to tears, and the video on Vevo has received over twenty-nine million views with another twenty-eight million views on YouTube. The film, video, and performance are the result of a growing political and social movement by young high school and college women to force schools, universities, and colleges to vigorously respond to rape and sexual harassment on campus. In response to complaints filed by more and more young women, the Obama Administration and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) in the Department Education began investigating claims that schools, colleges, and universities were not actively and adequately responding to claims of sexual assault and harassment despite passage of the Clery Act of 1990. The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to report data on crime on campus, provide support and accommodations to survivors, and establish written policies and procedures for the handling of campus crime.1 Since 2011, the OCR has expanded its efforts to address sexual assault on campuses as violations of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 that prohibits sex discrimination

  • Doing Justice As a Path to Sustainability in Community Work
    DOING JUSTICE AS A PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY IN COMMUNITY WORK PROEFCHRIFT ter verkrijging van de graad van doctor aan de Universiteit van Tilburg, op gezag van de rector magnificus, prof. dr. Ph. Eijlander, in het openbaar te verdedigen ten overstaan van een door het college voor promoties aangewezen commissie in de Ruth First zaal van de Universiteit op dinsdag 9 februari 2010 om 14. 15 uur door Victoria ann Reynolds geboren op 21 march 1961 te Toronto, Ontario, Canada Promotores: Prof. Dr. Kenneth J. Gergen Prof. Dr. John B. Rijsman SUMMARY: DOING JUSTICE AS A PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY IN COMMUNITY WORK I believe that it is possible to stay alive and useful in community work that takes place in contexts of social injustices. Sustaining ourselves in this difficult and sometimes spiritually painful work becomes more possible when we are able to work in accord with our ethics, embrace a spirit of solidarity, and see our collective work as doing justice. In the frame of this writing, I describe the paths that have led me to this work from social justice activism. The clients I have worked alongside have impacted my work, particularly survivors of torture and political violence, and people of the downtown Eastside of Vancouver who are subjected to social injustices and extreme marginalization. I am the supervisor for counsellors, community workers, and practitioners who work in these contexts of social injustice, and it is my task to shoulder them up to be useful for the long haul. In Part I, I outline my ethical stance for doing justice.
