Feminist Friday: A Weekly Round Up

Julia Holter talks gendered history with Lucrecia Dalt. 

Most insane headline of the week: "Dangdut singer Irma Bule gets bitten by cobra on stage, keeps singing for 45 minutes before she dies" Woah.

Gender wage gap has another layer to this onion, religion 

Feminist death metal is real? Yes.

Maybe you work in PR or run a record label and buy supplies from Uline? You might want to rethink that. 

Guitar World has finally realized that women play guitar too and maybe should't be objectified in a shameless flesh display to spotlight music gear. The end of the bikini gear guide is here.

Just when you don't think it could get worse for Kesha followed by this soul crushing post by her.

Nearly one year ago an inspiring multi-media artist named Roya Movafegh passed away from cancer. In her memory, mutual friend Lyle Hysen (musician, industry veteran, an all around swell dude) with the help of graphic designer John Newcomer created an inspiring children's book based on a story she had shared with them. "Princess Gallantra and the Great Race" not only depicts an exciting contest among 4 lands to reach the top of Mount Something; important lessons are learned, and mostly importantly we discover a girl is much more than just a skirt. All proceeds made from this delightful book go to Global Kids Inc, "a nonprofit educational organization for global learning and youth development - works to ensure that youth from underserved areas have the knowledge, skills, experiences and values they need to succeed in school, participate effectively in the democratic process, and achieve leadership in their communities and on the global stage." By purchasing this book in one of three formats, you are not just the proud owner of a book that teaches meaningful values to kids and highlights that girls rule, it also celebrates the vibrant spirit of Roya and helps to support a remarkable charity.

Women in DC who rock!

Being on the "wrong side of 30", This is an especially meaningly read to me and it is exactly why I am not sure I have it in me to keep making music as I approach my mid 40s. I thought sexism was annoying by agism is equally as demoralizing.

The most important song you will hear this week by War on Women.
