Modern Beauty, with Patricia from Australia
Today I got an email from a young high-school student in Australia, Patricia, doing a report on Third Wave and Women's Magazines.
"As a founder of third wave feminism, I'd like to ask you a few questions."
1. What is your personal definition of "modern feminism"?
Any act or thought that leads to a safer, healthier, more equitable and enjoyable experience for women and the people who love them.
Ka'iulani: The Highest Point of Heaven
Hi,
Since I've been living in Hawaii, I have become even more aware of the struggles of Hawaiian people in the face of "statehood." I have been particularly inspired by the half Hawaiian and half Scottish Princess Ka'iulani, heir apparent to the Hawaiian throne when the US declared Hawaii a protectorate.
The video is very moving and provides, in just eight minutes, a very good overview of the final years of Hawaiian independence. For even more info (and an image of one of Princess Ka'iulani's beautiful paintings), read her story on Wikipedia.
Much aloha,
Rebecca
