“And I cried. For myself. For this woman talkin’ about love. For all the women who have ever stretched their bodies out anticipating civilization and finding ruins.” By Sonia Sanchez, from “Just Don’t Never Give Up on Love,” Shake Loose My Skin: New and Selected Poems

The festival “Abrezagan” was observed in Iran, Bactria, and Sogdiana on the last day of the 11th month of the year. This festival involved water splashing - people would splash water from bowls or buckets on each other.

The way 'Equal Rites' by Terry Pratchett written in 1987 holds up as a fantastic critique of 2024 gender essentialism is striking...

The Taliban has just banned Afghan women from attending nursing school.

Imagine: you cannot pursue any education, even healthcare, because of the sole reason that you are a woman.

We are witnessing the erasure of women in real-time. It is beyond horror.
