Earlier this year, on International Women's Day, the Irish electorate was asked to vote in two referendums on changing Ireland's constitution regarding family and care. One of those questions was whether they wished to remove a reference to the role of women in the home, which some view as being out-of-step with modern Irish society. A lot has changed since the constitution was written in 1937. Ireland is now among the highest-ranking countries in Europe for gender equality. However, in both referendums, voters rejected the bid for constitutional change. In this programme, Leanna Byrne travels back to her home city of Dublin to explore Ireland's story when it comes to women, the family and work; speaking to Irish women about their experiences over the decades to now.

词汇提示1.controversy 争议2.dwindle 缩小3.quail 胆怯4.diagnosed 诊断原文Naomi Wolf : 'A Woman's Place' (3)When I wrote a book that caused controversy, I saw how big a dragon was this paralysis by niceness."The Beauty Myth" argues that newly rigid ideals of beauty are instruments of a backlash against feminism, designed to lower women's self-esteem for a political purpose.Many positive changes followed the debate.But all that would dwindle away when someone yelled at me -- as, for instance,cosmetic surgeons did on TV, when I raised questions about silicone implants.Oh,no, I'd quail, people are mad at me!Then I read something by the poet Audre Lorde.She'd been diagnosed with breast cancer."I was going to die," she wrote, "sooner or later, whether or not I had even spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silences will not protect you...What are the words you do not yet have? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence? We have been socialized to respect fear more than our own need for language."I began to ask each time: "What's the worst that could happen to me if I tell this truth?"Unlike women in other countries, our breaking silence is unlikely to have us jailed, "disappeared"or run off the road at night.Our speaking out will irritate some people, get us called bitchy or hypersensitive and disrupt some dinner parties.And then our speaking out will permit other women to speak, until laws are changed and lives are saved and the world is altered forever.Next time, ask: What's the worst that will happen?Then push yourself a little further than you dare.Once you start to speak, people will yell at you.They will interrupt you, put you down and suggest it's personal.And the world won't end.And the speaking will get easier and easier.And you will find you have fallen in love with your own vision, which you may never have realized you had.And you will lose some friends and lovers, and realize you don't miss them.And new ones will find you and cherish you.And you will still flirt and paint your nails, dress up and party, because, as I think Emma Goldman said, "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution."And at last you'll know with surpassing certainty that only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth.And that is not speaking.翻译娜奥米·沃尔夫:《女人的位置》(3)当我写了一本引起争议的书时，我看到了这条被善良麻痹的巨龙有多大。《美丽的神话》认为，新的严格的美丽理想是反对女权主义的工具，旨在降低女性的自尊，以达到政治目的。辩论之后发生了许多积极的变化。但是，当有人对我大喊大叫时，这一切都会消失——比如，当我在电视上提出关于硅胶植入物的问题时，整形外科医生就会这样做。不，我会退缩，大家都在生我的气!然后我读了诗人奥德丽·洛德的诗。她被诊断出患有乳腺癌。“我迟早会死，”她写道，“不管我自己有没有说出口。我的沉默并没有保护我。你的沉默保护不了你……你还有什么话没说?你们日复一日地吞下并企图成为你们自己的暴政是什么，直到你们仍然在沉默中为它们感到恶心和死亡?我们已经学会了尊重恐惧，而不是自己对语言的需求。”我开始每次都问自己:“如果我说出真相，最坏的结果会是什么?”与其他国家的女性不同，我们打破沉默不太可能让我们被关进监狱、“失踪”或在夜里冲出马路。我们的直言不讳会激怒一些人，让我们被称为恶毒或敏感，还会扰乱一些晚宴。然后，我们的发声将允许其他妇女发声，直到法律得到改变，生命得到拯救，世界被永远改变。下次，问问自己:最坏的结果是什么?然后把自己逼得比你敢的更远一点。一旦你开始说话，人们就会对你大喊大叫。他们会打断你，贬低你，并暗示这是私人恩怨。世界不会毁灭。说话会变得越来越容易。你会发现你已经爱上了你自己的愿景，你可能从来没有意识到你已经爱上了。你会失去一些朋友和爱人，然后意识到你并不想念他们。新的人会找到你，珍惜你。你仍然会调情，涂指甲油，打扮，参加派对，因为，我记得艾玛·戈德曼说过，“如果我不会跳舞，我不想成为你们革命的一部分。”最后你会非常肯定地知道只有一件事比说出真相更可怕。那就是不说话。

词汇提示1.archetypes 典型2.anorexia 厌食症3.bulimia 贪食症4.tithe 十一捐献5.disobedience 不服从原文Naomi Wolf : 'A Woman's Place' (2)We lack archetypes for the questing young woman, her trials by fire; for how one "becomes a woman" through the chrysalis of education, the difficult passage from one book, one idea to the next.Let's refuse to have our scholarship and our gender pitted against each other.In our definition, the scholar learns woman hood and the woman learns scholarship;Plato and Djuna Barnes, mediated to their own enrichment through the eyes of the female body with its wisdoms and its gifts.I saythat you have already shown courage:Many of you graduate today in spite of the post-traumatic syndrome of acquaintance rape,which one-fourth of female students undergo.Many of you were so weakened by anorexia and bulimia that it took every ounce of your will to get your work in.You negotiated private lives through a mine field of new strains of VD and the ascending shadow of AIDS.Triumphant survivors, you have already "become women."Message No. 2 breaks the ultimate taboo for women.Ask for money in your lives.Expect it. Own it. Learn to use it.Little girls learn a debilitating fear of money - that it's not feminine to insure we are fairly paid for honest work.Meanwhile,women make 68 cents for every male dollar and half of marriages end in divorce,after which women's income drops precipitously.But whatever field your heart decides on, for god's sake get the most specialized training in it you can and hold out hard for just compensation, parental leave and child care.Resist your assignment to the class of highly competent, grossly underpaid women who run the show while others get the case - and the credit.Claim money not out of greed, but so you can tithe to women's political organizations, shelters and educational institutions.Sexist institutions won't yield power if we are just patient long enough.The only language the status quo understands is money, votes and public embarrassment.When you have equity, you have influence- as sponsors, shareholders and alumnae.Use it to open opportunities to women who deserve the chances you've had.Your B. A. does not belong to you alone, just as the earth does not belong to its present tenants alone.Your education was lent to you by women of the past, and you will give some back to living women, and to your daughters seven generations from now.Message No. 3: Never cook for or sleep with anyone who routinely puts you down.Message No. 4: Become goddesses of disobedience.Virginia Woolf once wrote that we must slay the Angel in the House, the censor within.Young women tell me of injustices, from campus rape cover ups to classroom sexism.But at the thought of confrontation, they freeze into niceness.We are told that the worst thing we can do is cause conflict, even in the service of doing right.Antigone is imprisoned.Joan of Arc burns at the stake.And someone might call us unfeminine!翻译娜奥米·沃尔夫:《女人的位置》(2)我们缺乏追求的年轻女子的原型，她的考验;一个人如何通过教育的茧，从一本书、一种思想到下一种思想的艰难过渡，“成为一个女人”。让我们拒绝把我们的学识和我们的性别对立起来。在我们的定义中，学者学习女性气质，女性学习学术;柏拉图和Djuna Barnes，通过女性身体的智慧和天赋的眼睛来调解他们自己的丰富。我要说的是，你们已经表现出了勇气:尽管四分之一的女学生都患有熟人强奸的创伤后综合症，但今天你们中的许多人还是毕业了。你们中的许多人因为厌食症和暴食症而变得如此虚弱，以至于用尽了每一盎司的意志来完成你的工作。你们在新的性病毒株和不断上升的艾滋病阴影中度过了私人生活。胜利的幸存者们，你们已经“成为女人”了。信息2：打破了女性的终极禁忌。在你的生活中要钱。期望它。拥有它。学会使用它。小女孩学会了对金钱的一种使人衰弱的恐惧——确保我们诚实地工作得到公平的报酬并不是女性的行为。与此同时，女性的收入为男性的68美分，一半的婚姻以离婚告终，此后女性的收入急剧下降。但无论你决定从事什么行业，看在上帝的份上，都要尽可能接受最专业的培训，并努力争取公正的薪酬、育儿假和育儿服务。不要把你的任务分配给那些能力出众、收入极低的女性，她们在主持这个节目，而其他人则负责案件和荣誉。要钱不是出于贪婪，而是为了给妇女政治组织、庇护所和教育机构奉献什一税。只要我们有足够的耐心，性别歧视的机构就不会屈服。维持现状者唯一能理解的语言就是金钱、选票和公众尴尬。当你拥有股权时，你就有影响力——作为赞助商、股东和校友。用它来为那些值得拥有你所拥有的机会的女人打开机会之门。你的学士学位并不只属于你一个人，正如地球并不只属于它现在的房客一样。从前的妇女借给你们受教育，从今以后，你们要把教育还给活着的妇女和你们的女儿。信息3:永远不要为那些经常让你失望的人做饭或和他上床。信息4:成为不服从的女神。弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫(Virginia Woolf)曾写道，我们必须杀死屋里的天使和屋里的审查者。年轻女性向我讲述了各种不公，从掩盖校园强奸案到课堂性别歧视。但一想到要对抗，他们就变得友善起来。我们被告知，我们能做的最糟糕的事情就是引起冲突，即使是为了做好事。安提戈涅被囚禁。圣女贞德被处以火刑。有人可能会说我们没有女人味!

Indigenous activist, Shirley Djukurnã Krenak, is a native woman from Brazil.

词汇提示1.awry 错误的2.backlash 反对3.tassels 流苏4.menstruate 来月经原文Naomi Wolf : 'A Woman's Place' (1)Even the best of revolutions can go awry when we internalize the attitudes we are fighting.The class of 1992 is graduating into a violent backlash against the advances women have made over the last 20 years.This backlash ranges from a Senator using "The Exorcist" against Anita Hill, to beer commercials with the "Swedish bikini team."Today I want to give you a backlash survival kit, a four-step manual to keep the dragons from taking up residence inside your own heads.My own commencement, at Yale, eight years ago, was the Graduation from Hell.The speaker was Dick Cavett, rumored to have been our president's"brother" in an all-male secret society.Mr. Cavett took the microphone and paled at the sight of hundreds of female about-to-be- Yale graduates."When I was a graduate," I recall he said, "There were no women.The women went to Vassar.At Vassar, they had nude photographs taken of the women in gym class to check their posture.One year the photos were stolen, and turned up for sale in New Haven's red-light district.His punch line, "The photos found no buyers."I'll never forget that moment.There we were, silent in our black gowns, our tassels, our brand new shoes.We dared not break the silence with hisses or boos,out of respect for our families, who'd come so far; and they kept still out of concern for us.Consciously or not, Mr. Cavett was using the beauty myth aspect of the backlash: when women come too close to masculine power, someone will draw critical attention to their bodies.We might be Elis, but we still wouldn't make pornography worth buying.That afternoon, several hundred men were confirmed in the power of a powerful institution.But many of the women felt the shame of the powerless: the choking on silence, the complicity, the helplessness.We were orphaned from the institution.I want to give you the commencement talk that was denied to me.Message No. 1 in your survival kit: redefine "becoming a woman."Today you have "become women."But that sounds odd in ordinary usage.What is usually meant by "You're a real woman [sic] now? "You"become a woman" when you menstruate for the first time, or when you lose your virginity, or when you have a child.These biological definitions are very different from how we say boys become men.One"becomes a man" when he undertakes responsibility, or completes a quest.But you, too, in some ways more than your male friends graduating today, have moved into maturity through a solitary quest for the adult self.翻译娜奥米·沃尔夫:《女人的位置》(1)即使是最好的革命，当我们内化了我们所对抗的态度时，也会出错。1992届毕业生将在一场针对女性在过去20年里取得的进步的暴力反弹中毕业。从一位参议员用《驱魔人》来攻击安妮塔·希尔，到“瑞典比基尼队”的啤酒广告，都出现了这种反弹。今天我想给你们一个反击生存工具包，一个四步手册来防止龙在你自己的头脑中居住。八年前，我自己在耶鲁大学的毕业典礼是“来自地狱的毕业典礼”。演讲者是迪克·卡维特，据传他是我们总统在一个全是男性的秘密社团里的“兄弟”。卡维特先生接过麦克风，面对数百名即将毕业的耶鲁女学生，他的脸色变得苍白。“当我毕业的时候，”我记得他说，“没有女人。女人们去了瓦萨学院。在瓦萨学院，他们给体育课上的女性拍了裸照，以检查她们的姿势。有一年，这些照片被盗，并在纽黑文的红灯区被出售。他的妙语是:“照片没有找到买家。”我永远不会忘记那一刻。我们静静地站在那里，穿着黑色长袍，戴着流苏，穿着崭新的鞋子。出于对远道而来的家人的尊重，我们不敢用嘘声或嘘声打破沉默;他们不作声，是出于对我们的关心。不管有意无意，卡维特都是在利用这种反对的美丽神话方面:当女性过于接近男性权力时，有人会把批评的注意力吸引到她们的身体上。我们可能是Elis，但我们仍然不会让色情作品值得购买。那天下午，几百人在一个强大的机构的权力下得到确认。但是，许多妇女感到无能为力的耻辱:沉默、同谋和无助。我们是孤儿院的孤儿。我想给你们在毕业典礼上的演讲，我被拒绝了。你生存工具箱里的第一条信息:重新定义“成为一个女人”。今天，你们已经“成为女人”了。但这在日常用法中听起来很奇怪。“你现在是个真正的女人了”通常是什么意思?当你第一次来月经时，或者当你失去贞操时，或者当你有了孩子时，你就“成为了一个女人”。这些生物学上的定义与我们所说的男孩变成男人的方式非常不同。当一个人承担责任或完成任务时，他就“成为了一个人”。但是，在某些方面，你们也比你们今天毕业的男性朋友们更加成熟，你们是通过对成人自我的孤独追求而走向成熟的。

Pianist Eri Yamamoto has been recording albums ever since she moved to New York City from her native Japan in 1995, when she decided to study jazz at The New School.

Yamamoto joins us for a Listening Party.

Throughout her reign, the Queen maintained strong links with the Church of England, and in her private life, her Christian faith never faltered. But she was keen, too, to promote religious tolerance and mutual respect throughout Britain and the Commonwealth.

A stroke can be devastating--or deadly. Stroke hits nearly 8-hundred-thousand people each year in the U.S.  More than half are women--and a growing number are young women. Johns Hopkins neurologist Dr. Michelle Johansen studies a particular kind of stroke that affects younger women, in which the heart--for unknown reasons--throws off a blood clot to the brain. She previews the risks she'll describe on Saturday at Johns Hopkins' annual seminar “A Woman's Journey.” And psychiatrist Dr. Karen Swartz discusses how the stresses of the pandemic are piling up, and how we can support each other:  “I would recommend that we make time for each other. That you have an opportunity to ask those closest to you, either friends, family, or those with whom you work, that you make some time to actually say, ‘no really, how are you doing?"

The short answer: she's a nurse-midwife, founder of a hospital bearing her name, who's saving and changing the lives of tens of thousands of people in Somaliland — a place not even recognized as a country. She's also a Muslim. Edna is as tough as General Petraeus, as compassionate as the Pope, as tireless as Michael Phelps, as beautiful at 75 as Tina Turner, and has a ‘get-it-done-no-excuses” work ethic to rival Bill Gates. I would not want to be on Edna's bad side."   (from 'The Muslim mother Theresa' written by Kate Grant, CEO of the Fistula Foundation in The Huffington Post in 2012)

Genius often goes unappreciated... On this episode we're doing something a little different and taking a deep dive into a period of the life of one Charlie Chaplin and is often underappreciated film 'A Woman of Paris' We talked with noted author Wes Gehring about his new book; 'Charlie Chaplin and A Woman of Paris: The Genius of a Misunderstood Masterpiece' about his research into the book, this period in Chaplin's life, his creative efforts to be more then his iconic character of 'The Tramp' and how success had to be redefined for Chaplin when trying to veer away from what made a household name.

A Woman's Blessing is a ritual that was created by Medicine Woman Lynette Allen in 2017 for 15 very special women - as they met together to drink Ayahuasca - it was a honouring of their courage and bravery to go deep inside themselves. That ritual has grown and developed into a ceremony where we honour, heal and appreciate the girls we were, the women we are now and the women we are yet to become. This beautifully calming meditation spoken by Medicine Woman Lynette Allen was channelled with the plant medicine Cacao, usually a meditation only channelled in ceremonial sacred space, Lynette created a private ceremony where this blessing could be channelled for you - wherever you are. Take 20 minutes, lay down, drink Ceremonial Cacao if you have it - you can find out more about Ceremonial Cacao on her website www.awomansblessing.com - but the most important thing, is to allow yourself the indulgence of this deeply honouring meditation. Made with love, just for you

But how? “Follow me” she said smiling, and led me out past the back of Ratchly Chemical Factory, which I was a little nervous about, then on through the Ratchly woods and up just outside Charry Marry Fun park. It was a beautiful sunny day, about 3pm so I had another hour before making the dinner and bringing it over to Michael in ‘his house’ as he then liked to scream at me. Ah Michelle was goin’ good-o with the stories of how she never got married and that there were no good men in the town anyway. I said I know, I hadn’t seen a proper man in years and only for Floyd I’d have forgotten what a massive mangler looked like. Michelle gaped at me and said: “Oh, you should see what they feel like”. She stared. I didn’t know what to say. That’s when we heard it. (Whistle) Michelle said to follow her. So I did. We ventured in our suede boots and loose scarves to a clearing. There stood four middle-aged men and from a distance they looked like they were out of a Crowded House video from the 80’s. Michelle took my hand. The biggest fella approached, spat the fag from his gob and it was then that I recognised him! It was Brendan! Brendan Barty! The best Gaelic footballer of all St. Saville’s! My old classmate! Oh my God, and was that Gavin Moore behind him? And that’s definitely Clement Gansella! What the Janey? But I said nothing. Then at the rear and scuffing his shoes was a man with a familiar sound.  “Wheeeezeeee!” It was J.J.! Jagger Jordan! I looked at him in horror. We had just met in the morning! But he looked different, as if vacant, as they all lined up. J.J., Brendan, Gavin and Clement! Just like our yearbook from ‘91. A semi-school reunion in the woods outside the Fun Park. “Good woman yourself Michelle, she’s a hefty one!” said Brendan, staring at my buxom motherlode, not seeming to recognise me. And neither did Gavin or Clement. As for J.J.? He just stared ahead with bloodshot eyes. Well, I thought to myself, probably a kilo-a-year since three of them last saw me. Yep, eighteen extra kilos will do that to a girl! And never mind the slabs of black eye-liner I got off Michelle too! Yet there was no hint of them recognising their classmate 18 years on! Were they letting on? And if not, surely I didn’t want to tell them. I was too busy sweating! Which made what was about to happen one of the strangest episodes of my life. And it was a wonder too that J.J. kept his mouth shut about seeing me that morning at the flat! But soon, I was to realise why… “Ready? Sure let’s burst it on!” said Brendan again. He sounded brain damaged. Must have been all those years fighting a football. But I was mesmerised. What were we all doin’ in this field Michelle? Just then I made out the big bent helmet under Brendan’s grey stonewash jeans. His fashion sense was always rubbish. His hammer twitched as Brendan took me by the hand. I jolted. No man had done that in such a gentle way since Floyd. I blinked. Gavin said I was a “very sexy woman” with “big milk and blood.” I don’t know if he had been on drugs the whole time since school but I tell ya, I only went crimson! Then as quick as a snot Clement whips out his skinny aul’ creamy flute and starts riffin’ off strokes! One after the other like a piston engine! Ah! I looked around for Michelle but all I saw was Brendan and Gavin staring at me, each flickin’ their nervous flogs in me face! Oh my God! I was mortified! I hadn’t seen this amount of penis since Michael taped over the wedding video for spite. “Yeah, yeaaaah, take this bitch, have and hold this forever, ya cunt.” Frumpy Dumpster is an Amplevoicepod feature-length Ear-film.

Reports claim that Bernie Sanders once told Elizabeth Warren that a woman couldn’t win the 2020 presidential election. Meanwhile, Warren’s strategy is to insist that incarcerated trans women aren’t safe in male prisons. And another one bites the dust as we say goodbye to Cory Booker’s candidacy. The media’s claim that Soleimani’s death united Iran has been shattered as Trump tweets his support in Farsi for the pro-freedom protesters across the nation.

It's that time again! Ahead of 'The Bachelor' mania kicking off in Australia, we briefly discuss why it is that we end up hating all former Bachies and why 'The Bachelorette' is never as good. Speaking of reality TV, Lena Dunham wrote a brilliant piece for 'The Guardian' about 'Love Island' and 'The Bachelorette' USA admitted she actually got it on not two, but four times in a windmill, firmly cementing herself as AWD's Hero of the Week. Plus, why taking a digital detox could be the best thing we ever do, second only to checking our opinions. When did we all start suddenly knowing everything about everything? And what's so bad about sitting on the fence sometimes?If you want daily recommendations and lots of fun chat (read: skincare recommendations), join our closed Facebook group: After Work Drinks Podcast.

In 1942, as World War II was raging, the Gestapo sent out an urgent message: “She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her.” That spy was Virginia Hall, a young American woman who—rejected from the Foreign Service because of her gender and prosthetic leg—talked her way behind enemy lines in occupied France and went on to become one of the greatest (and most unlikely) spies in U.S. history. Today I talk with Sonia Purnell, author of the book "A Woman of No Importance." Virginia quickly established a network of spies to blow up bridges and track German troop movements; she recruited and trained guerrilla fighters, arming them with weapons she called in from the skies. As “the limping lady of Lyon” and later “the Madonna of the Mountains,” she became legend. Eluding the Nazis hot on her tail, her face covering WANTED posters throughout Europe, Virginia refused orders to evacuate. Finally—her cover blown and her associates imprisoned or executed—she escaped in a grueling hike over the Pyrenees into Spain. But, adamant that she had “more lives to save,” she dove back in as soon as she could, helping lay the groundwork for the Allied liberation of France.

On today's episode of The F Word, Sheryl Brown is speaking with Patty Kreamer and Michelle Donovan of Productivity Uncorked. Patty is a Productivity Coach for Financial Advisors and Michelle is a Referral and Business Coach for Financial Advisors. Together, they released a book called 'A Woman's Way: Empowering Female Financial Advisors to Authentically Lead and Flourish in a Man's World'. Initially, I reached out to Patty to learn more about her work. She then introduced me to Michelle and both women have been instrumental leaders in the Females and Finance community. In today's chat we will discuss: Women Leadership: Why tell this story? Challenges: Where are women today in male-dominated communities and what does their future look like? Male Allies: Do we need men in #FinServ in order to succeed?

When you go shopping do you use the self-service checkouts? Or when you pop into a fast food place do you order on the touch- screens rather than go to the counter? If so, your transaction is through computers rather than people. This week the Office of National Statistics says that nearly 1.5 million jobs are at risk because of this type of automation and they're jobs that many women carry out.Victoria, a new ballet being performed at Sadler's Wells in London, tells the remarkable story of Queen Victoria through the eyes of her youngest child and lifelong companion Beatrice. Choreographer and director, Cathy Marston and dramaturg, Uzma Hameed join Jenni to discuss the challenges of recreating a royal icon onstage, and reveal the true story behind Victoria and Beatrice's unique mother-daughter relationship. Zeenat Aman has often been called Bollywood's first sex symbol. She starred in numerous films in the 70s and 80s and redefined the archetypal heroine in Indian cinema. In an era when women played secondary characters, largely obedient wives and lovers, she was drawn to more unconventional roles. From the drug-taking hippie in 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna' to the opportunist who leaves her unemployed lover for a millionaire in 'Roti', she was an inspiration for so many other heroines. She tell us about her illustrious career, Bollywood and the UK Asian Film Festival. Last year Gina Haspel became the first female director of the CIA . She talked about how she stood “on the shoulders of heroines who never sought public acclaim” and was “deeply indebted” to women who challenged stereotypes and broke down barriers to make her appointment possible. One of the women she was referring to was Virginia Hall, an American-turned-British spy who became a legend in espionage and guerrilla warfare. Sonia Purnell has spent more than three years finding out more and talks to Jenni about her new book 'A Woman of No Importance' which has already been optioned for a film with Daisy Ridley set to play Virginia.Presenter: Jenni Murray Producer: Kirsty StarkeyInterviewed Guest: Professor Gina Neff Interviewed Guest: Cathy Marston Interviewed Guest: Uzma Hazeed Interviewed Guest: Zeenat Aman Interviewed Guest: Sonia Purnell

In this episode, I explore Gena Rowlands's raw and uncompromising performance as Mabel Longhetti in John Cassavetes's 1974 film, "A Woman Under the Influence." Mabel is a woman struggling with mental illness and coming apart in the midst of family turmoil. I talk about why Cassavetes's work was so groundbreaking and provide details about his and Rowlands's relationship. The heart of the episode is my in-depth analysis of Rowlands's acting in the film and why I think she gives one of the greatest performances of all time. I also talk about my recent move, my own struggle with mental illness, the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, and I expand on my previous ideas about a Cinema of the Unruly Woman.

Fran Meana (Avilés, 1982) presents an installation comprising a text transformed into an image, the hanging jacket of an absent body and four soundtracks, each relayed through a different speaker, which recreate the space of a conversation. The narration takes it starting point from the classic science-fiction novel 'A Woman in the Edge of Time' by Marge Piercy, continuing the dialogue between its two main characters: a woman from the present and another from the not-so-distant future. Two bodies, which are absent yet have a voice, take part in a reflection on the translation from our time to the future and from image to sound, from physical presence to absence.

Welcome to episode 111! This week we discuss the movie 'Godsend', which we agree is more of a sci-fi thriller than anything else. This movie has quality performances, but maybe falls short in other areas. Our Garbage in/Garbage out segment features 'The Green Lantern', 'A Woman, a Gun, and a Noodle Shop', and the family movies 'Nanny McPhee Returns; and 'Gnomeo and Juliet'. Madsaxxon has started playing 'Silent Hill:Shattered Memories' for the Wii, so we have some things to say about it... and the Crawling Chaos segment returns with a reference to the 1980's movie 'Weekend at Bernie's'. We'd like to thank Slug again for joining us last week, and look forward to him joining us again soon! You can find a link to his podcast below, as well as a link to the Dolls of Despair's podcast, where they interview Bill Oberst Jr. Thanks for joining us this week, and please join us next time for the movie 'Husk'! Godsend: (2004) PG-13 When their son Adam (Cameron Bright) dies in a terrible accident the day after his birthday, married couple Paul (Greg Kinnear) and Jessie (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) are contacted by a genetic research whiz (Robert De Niro) who wants to clone the boy. Caught up in grief, the couple agrees, hoping he can make things right. After the process is complete, things seem blissful until they realize that the "new" Adam has a dark side.
