    Canadian Guiding Badges and Insignia Brownie Six/Circle Emblems

    Canadian Guiding Badges And Insignia Brownie Six/Circle Emblems Following the introduction of the Brownie program to provide Guiding for younger girls, and after the decision to base the new program on The Brownie Story, a further decision was made in 1919 to subdivide a Brownie Pack into smaller groups consisting of six girls. These smaller groups within the Pack were known as Sixes and were identified by a Six emblem bearing the name of some mythical fairy- like person from folklore. [Reference: POR (British, 1919)] The original Six emblems were brown felt; later versions were brown cotton with the edges bound in brown. In 1995, the term “Sixes” was replaced by the term “Circles”, and the shape of the emblems was changed as well. In 1972, three of the original twelve Six emblems were retired and in 1995 four new ones were added.

Eliana Burns Humboldt State University 2020 Department of Communications Pink Is The New Tax 1 Historically women in America have made colossal advances that have proven they are just as capable as men. Women had fought and continued to challenge the system since 1919 with the 19th Amendment giving them a right to vote. However, even with this crucial progression, womens’ oppression can be found all around us only in much more subtle ways such as “ the pink tax”. As of 2020 there are currently no federal laws to outlaw companies from charging different prices depending on which gender they are meant to be marketed to. This rhetorical analysis will first address the concept of gendered products, how the tax benefits from these products, and why gendering of products reinforce gender discrimination and stereotypes. A brief explanation as to why the tax is nicknamed “the tampon tax” is included.

Professor of Law, Co-Director, Center on Applied Feminism, Director, Bronfein Family Law Clinic, University of Baltimore School of Law. My clinic students and I have worked with the Reproductive Justice Coalition on legislative advocacy for reproductive health care policies and free access to menstrual products for incarcerated persons since fall 2016. In 2018, two bills became law in Maryland requiring reproductive health care policies in the correctional facilities as well as free access to products. Maryland HB 787/SB629 (reproductive health care policies) and HB 797/SB 598 (menstrual products). I want to thank the Coalition members and my students who worked so hard on these important laws and are currently working on their implementation and continued reforms. I also want to thank the following persons who reviewed and provided important feedback on drafts and presentations of this Article: Professors Michele Gilman, Shanta Trivedi, Virginia Rowthorn, Nadia Sam-Agudu, MD, Audrey McFarlane, Lauren Bartlett, Carolyn Grose, Claire Donohue, Phyllis Goldfarb, Tanya Cooper, Sherley Cruz, Naomi Mann, Dr. Nadia Sam-Agudu, Marcia Zug, Courtney Cross, and Sabrina Balgamwalla.

I also want to thank Bridget Crawford, Marcy Karin, Laura Strausfeld, and Emily Gold Waldman for collaborating and thinking about issues relating to periods and menstruation.

  • Light and Dark

    Light and Dark

    Light and dark The Mortal Realm is lit by two celestial bodies, the sun by day and the moon by night, but the same is not true of all realms. Some have neither and exist in total darkness, but most have some form of illumination. In the folklore of the Tuatha there are two kinds of Folk, those who walk in the daylight, the Seelie, and those who haunt the darkness, the Unseelie. To them the Seelie are kindly and helpful whilst the Unseelie are malicious and treacherous. This is a false distinction which was spread by the Fae during their rise in the mortal world. In truth, there is no moral distinction between diurnal and nocturnal Folk it is simply a matter of comfort. Some prefer gentle starlight, some like the heat of the day in midsummer, some need the cold to regulate their body temperature or are unable to tolerate sunlight on their skin. The terms Seelie and Unseelie really refer to their attitude towards the Fae. Those Folk who were happy, or at least not rebellious in their servitude to the Fae were extolled as ‘good’ or Seelie. Those who sought to break free from their slavery or turned against their masters were demonised as Unseelie. Folk branded Unseelie were often hunted down and made examples of, so they frequently took to venturing out of hiding only at night. The Fae are mostly daylight Folk although the stars are important to their dances. Certainly the Fae would not go abroad on pitch black, starless nights and so the renegade Folk would be safe to travel abroad under the cloak of night.
