  • When Politics Were Fun: Recovering a History of Humour in U.S. Feminism
    When Politics Were Fun: Recovering a History of Humour in U.S. Feminism Kirsten Leng Abstract: Based on archival research, scholarship from the emerging field of Feminist Humour Studies, and engagements with feminist and poststructuralist theory, in this article I make the case for recovering a history of humour in feminism, with a focus on 20th century US-based feminist practices. I argue that retrieving evidence of feminist humour—whether as political performance (street protests, “zaps”) or cultural artefacts (comics, music, plays, polemical texts)—enables scholars to re-imagine feminism and its past, and opens up new ways of thinking about both. Using humour as a focal point through which to narrate feminist history allows for a recovery of neglected and marginalized voices from the feminist past. In so doing, humour facilitates a redrawing of the conceptual map that informs prevailing narratives about feminism and its history. Furthermore, engaging humour opens up new lines of inquiry for future researchers, including an investigation of how feminists’ engagements with humour—and the new, subversive realities they engendered—helped shape feminist attitudes, subjectivities, and communities over the course of generations. Keywords: activism; Guerrilla Girls; COYOTE; Flo Kennedy; humour; feminism. omedians are leading the feminist movement,” declared a March 2015 article on the website mic.com. Citing much-lauded examples like Amy Poehler, Jessica Williams, Kristen Schaal and Amy Schumer, the article took stock of “C contemporary female comedians’ growing commitment to broaching issues such as pay equity and reproductive rights in mainstream media, and remarked upon their powerful influence in shaping generational attitudes.

    Download Books We Ate Wonder Bread: A Memoir of Growing Up on the West Side of Chicago We Ate Wonder Bread: A Memoir of Growing Up on the West Side of Chicago - - Descriptions Nicole Hollander's internationally syndicated comic strip Sylvia ran for thirty years. The characters, and unique sense of humor, that inhabited that progressive comic strip, however, originated in Hollander's own childhood neighborhood. We Ate Wonder Bread is the first graphic novel from this acclaimed veteran cartoonist, a coming-of-age memoir starring the gangsters, the glamorous, the bed bugs, the Catholics, the police, and many more characters who are just too eccentric to be made up. With an introduction by award-winning cartoonist Alison Bechdel (Fun Home), We Ate Wonder Bread is Nicole Hollander's often- hilarious look into the origin of her style and wit, while also a chronicle of a Chicago community, and a piece of America, that has long since disappeared..

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} I'm in Training to Be Tall and Blonde by Nicole Hollander I'm in Training to Be Tall and Blonde by Nicole Hollander. It started in innocence, out of charity. I scanned the table hopelessly, longing to bid at the silent auction for the so worthy cause, but even for a worthy cause I can not buy ugly jewelry or day trips to anywhere. I went around and around the table, slower and slower… I drank, I ate, I made small talk. finally I spied a basket of environmentally sound cleaning products and a spray tanning session. This time they looked good to me. I bid , I scored, I won. The next day I was at the salon, wearing a paper thong and being spray painted impersonally with a professional looking gizmo moving up and down my body as if I were a wall, being graffitied by children. I twirled my arms as instructed, rotated my body and received the oddly unpleasant treatment. It felt icy on my naked nipples and merely cold everywhere else. Blondie left the room. The fan was on, I was to keep my arms up and twirl continually for 10 minutes in order to dry properly. Alas, I could not keep it up, I had my clothes on when Blondie knocked on the door. “You didn’t wait,” she cried out, “You will have bra lines. “I got bored,” I said, “I can’t twirl for 10 minutes. Life is too short, I am too old. I ran off to have my hair low-lighted.
