Great read on the imagined feminist - in all her monstrous multiplicities - in historic illustration (and on her manifold actualities in contemporary culture).
Brilliant reading and tracing of visual art depicting the New Woman, feminists and / or protesting women unconcerned with performing a docile femininity, from the misogynist paranoid projections featured in "Puck" to the women who write / draw back - read it!
So excited to have my article on feminism's use of visual strategies published on Modernism/modernity's online journal! Big shoutout to the visual artists of RESIST! magazine whose art after the overturn of Roe v Wade is even more significant:

Managers at @Sydney_Uni want to abolish the departments of the uni's Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences. This is major vandalism. Staff are overwhelmingly opposed yet are being ignored. Share our video and tell managers @mscott@arjagose & @adkinsprof to respect staff and the uni.
