About Me

In 2009 I took a women's studies class in which I had an assignment to make a magazine about any topic I wanted. Since I've loved glossy magazines my whole life but always wished for something more substantive when I was growing up, I did my project on teenagers and feminism.






The result was a 45-page magazine, with pictures, photo spreads and articles. I had so much fun making it that I started this blog to keep that momentum going.

I typically cover pop culture, comedy, and politics, since these are the things that interest me most. I am interested in actively promoting creative works produced by women (see on-going series Feminist Rapper Friday and Sunday Funday Female Comedy) and I love getting comments and suggestions for topics YOU want to see covered. 

I also blog regularly with a bunch of my fabulous feminist friends at FOXJUICE, a feminist collective tumblr started in summer 2012. My work is under the tag "Liz".

  1. Hi there,

    With the elections having passed and the ongoing implementation of healthcare reform, women’s access to contraception is all over the news. Setting the politics aside, did you know that many unplanned pregnancies – and abortions – are the result of not using birth control or using it incorrectly?

    Have a look at our recent Everyday Health infogram that uses visualizes a report out of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis:

    We encourage you to share this on our-turn-feminism.blogspot.com, and would be happy to give you a Follow Friday shout out to our 100,000+ Twitter fans.

    Let me know if you would like me to send over the attachment!


    Warmly,
    Blaine
