Women in Film Honors Gala 2021: Zendaya, mehr Stars’ Fashion
Futuristische Mode! Zendaya gibt überall ein stilvolles Statement ab – und die Women in Film Honors Gala 2021 war keine Ausnahme.
Für die Veranstaltung, die am Mittwoch, 6. Oktober, im Academy Museum of Motion Pictures stattfand, sah die 25-jährige Schauspielerin in einem atemberaubenden Loewe-Kleid aus der Frühjahr/Sommer-Kollektion 2022 der Marke gleichermaßen wild und fabelhaft aus.
Die Düne Star sah aus wie eine goldene Göttin und trug eine „handgefertigte“ Messingplatte über ihrem grauen Etuikleid. Nach Angaben des Modehauses wurde der Metallschmuck
Variety’s Power of Women Event: Red Carpet Fashion, Kleider
Frauenpower! Wegbereiter, Veränderer, Philanthropen und weitere großartige Kräfte in Hollywood trafen am Donnerstag, den 30. September, bei der Veranstaltung „Power of Women“ von Variety ein.
Und obwohl der Abend eine großartige Möglichkeit war, die Arbeit zu ehren, die Frauen leisten, wenn sie nicht im Rampenlicht stehen, lag sicherlich auch ein Schwerpunkt auf fabelhafter Mode.
Nehmen Katy Perry zum Beispiel. Der 36-jährige Superstar, der im Namen ihrer Arbeit mit der Firework Foundation anwesend war, die Kinder befähigt, „indem sie ihr inneres

Why the Left Wants to Get Rid of the Term “Pregnant Women”
Last year, a brand-new labor-and-delivery hospital opened on the well-to-do Upper East Side of New York City. Its name, the Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns, might strike most people as innocuous or straightforward. But to some people, the suggestion that a hospital where babies are born is for women is offensive, because transgender and nonbinary people who do not identify as women can also get pregnant and deliver babies.
Only niche groups tend to care about how Americans
The Taliban’s Return Is Awful for Women in Afghanistan
One morning in the summer of 1999, Shukriya Barakzai woke up feeling dizzy and feverish. According to the Taliban’s rules, she needed a Maharram, a male guardian, in order to leave home to visit the doctor. Her husband was at work, and she had no sons. So she shaved her 2-year old daughter’s head, dressed her in boys’ clothing to pass her off as a guardian, and slipped on a burka. Its blue folds hid her fingertips, painted red in
Joan Ullyot, Debunker of Limits on Women Who Run, stirbt im Alter von 80
Als Joan Ullyot, eine Ärztin und versierte Läuferin, 1976 ihr Buch „Women’s Running“ veröffentlichte, nahm sie eine abschreckende Reihe traditioneller Ideen auf, die auf eine Mahnung hinausliefen: Frauen sollten keine langen Strecken laufen.
Sie seien physiologisch nicht dafür gebaut, sagte man den Frauen. Im Vergleich zu Männern hatten sie in der Regel mehr Körperfett, weniger Muskelmasse und eine leichtere Knochenstruktur, Faktoren, die sie davon abhalten sollten, Langstreckenlauf zu betreiben – so glaubte man zumindest. Darüber hinaus warnten viele Behörden vor
François Poulain, Radical-Feminist Forefather – The Atlantic
This article was published online on July 28, 2021.
What if I told you that the first modern feminist was a man, lived in the 17th century, and was a priest? I’m guessing you’d be especially skeptical about the priest part, so I’ll add that when this father of feminism wrote his vindications of women’s rights, he wasn’t a priest yet. He became one later, probably because he was broke.
His name was François Poulain de la Barre (actually,
The Radical Women Who Paved the Way for Free Speech and Free Love
Anthony Comstock may be the only man in American history whose lobbying efforts yielded not only the exact federal law he wanted but the privilege of enforcing it to his liking for four decades. Given that Comstock never held elected office and that the highest appointed position he occupied in government was special agent of the Post Office, this was an extraordinary achievement—and a reminder of the ways that zealots have sometimes slipped past the sentries of American democracy to
The Women Who Want to Be Priests
Soline Humbert was a seventeen-year-old studying history and politics at Trinity College in Dublin when she first felt a calling to enter the priesthood. She did not welcome it. A cradle Catholic who was born and raised in France, Humbert knew that in the Roman Catholic Church only men could be priests—it was an indisputable rule anchored in official teachings and traditions. This was in the early nineteen-seventies, and in other religions, and in society at large, women’s roles were
What if Pro Sports Leagues Were Controlled by Their Players?
Late last September, on a cool night in Rosemont, Illinois, Haylie Wagner, a twenty-seven-year-old southpaw, faced Hannah Flippen, with two outs in the top of the seventh inning in the final game of the inaugural softball season of Athletes Unlimited. Wagner’s team was up 18–3, but the moment was tense: in the game’s unusual format, there were points on the line with every pitch. Minutes before, Victoria Hayward, an outfielder, had been thrown out at the plate, and—despite the blowout
