Writer, Ianto Ware with the story of growing up in the suburbs of Adelaide with his radical, feminist, lesbian mother, Dimity. (R)Ianto Ware was raised in the suburbs of Adelaide in a house surrounded by a tangled garden of oak trees and vegetables, and furniture foraged from hard rubbish.Aside from the family pets, it was just Ianto and Dimity at home.His family was different to most in his street, as his mother Dimity described herself as a 'radical feminist socialist lesbian'.Dimity wore dungarees, and for some of Ianto's childhood, she drove a campervan with a yellow kayak on the roof, with a rainbow cat sticker on the bonnet of the van.As she was raising Ianto alone, Dimity knew that it was very likely she would not live to old age, because of a health condition she was born with.Ianto has written down the story his mother's remarkable life, and her legacy.Further informationOriginally broadcast June 2021.

Welcome to Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks, the Thursday companion to our Heir of Fire analysis! This week, we dive into listener thoughts, spoiler theories, and deep-cut foreshadowing across the Throne of Glass series. In this spoiler-friendly episode, Jac and Amy read your submissions and explore the hidden threads in Heir of Fire chapters 1–7. From Celaena's descent into despair in Wendlyn to Manon's bloody debut, we uncover early clues pointing toward Aelin's transformation, Rowan's purpose, and the shifting power dynamics across Terrasen and Rifthold. We revisit key moments that seemed small on first read—the mist, the ring, the sword of Orynth, the word “coward”—and ask what they really foreshadow about the fates of Celaena, Dorian, Chaol, and Manon. Through the Feminist and Marxist lenses, we analyze how grief, class, and power converge in these opening chapters, setting the stage for one of Sarah J. Maas's most pivotal character metamorphoses. What we discuss: Listener insights and predictions from Instagram and booktalkforbooktok.com Hidden symbols and early foreshadowing that pay off later in Heir of Fire and beyond Theories on Maeve's manipulation, Rowan's role, and Celaena's “monster” identity How Dorian's magic and Aedion's loyalty mirror Marxist ideas of rebellion and labor Manon's introduction as the Feminist subversion of power and violence Spoilers: Full spoilers for Heir of Fire (all chapters), Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, and light discussion of future books in the Throne of Glass series.

Da einige in unserem Team aktuell krank sind, gibt es diese Woche leider keine neue Folge. Dafür haben wir in unserem Archiv diese starke Folge aus dem Mai 2022 gefunden, die wir euch sehr ans Herz legen wollen.Luisa L'Audace erlebt aufgrund ihrer Behinderung schon ihr ganzes Leben Diskriminierung – als Frau und noch mal verstärkt als Frau mit Behinderung. Ableismus nennt sich diese Form der strukturellen Diskriminierung. Lena geht mit Luisa der Frage nach, wieso Ableismus in feministischen Diskursen so oft vergessen – oder teilweise sogar reproduziert wird. Dabei geht es nicht nur um barrierearme Zugänge zu feministischen Veranstaltungen oder Demonstrationen, sondern auch um sexuelle Selbstbestimmung, Reproduktionsrechte und Fetischisierung.Danke an alle, die den Lila Podcast unterstützenHelft uns, damit unsere Arbeit fair bezahlt werden kann!

We're throwing it back to the 1996 cult classic film The Craft just in time for Halloween! We begin with a conversation about Hannah and Marcelle's teenage witch phases (of course they both had them), before digging into the filmic landscape of the 90s. Hannah argues that The Craft's interest in girlhood and power was a catalyst that paved the way for pop culture to come, like Buffy and Charmed and Practical Magic. Hannah then draws on Stacy Gillis and Rebecca Munford's “Genealogies and Generations: The Politics and Praxis of Third Wave Feminism" and Jessica Rosenberg and Gitana Garofalo's “Riot Grrrl: Revolutions from Within" to help understand the resonance of film.

Today I'm offering a gentler way to honour your quirks, gifts, and authentic self!

A chapter-bound, spoiler-controlled deep dive into Heir of Fire (Ch. 1–7): grief, avoidance, broken bonds, and a first look at Rowan, Aedion, Sorscha, and Manon through Feminist and Marxist lenses. Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels—romance and romantasy—like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) through two lenses: Feminist (gender roles, power, agency, archetypes) and Marxist (class, labor, material conditions, institutions). Same rigor as a lit class, more jokes, less homework. Season format & spoiler policy: Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis • Thursday = Listener Thoughts on Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks. Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire Ch. 1–7 with context from Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight. Anything beyond these (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Anything involving other book in the series or other SJM works will be saved for Thursday's episode. Episode summary: Celaena Sardothien spirals in Wendlyn—narrow POV, heat, hunger, and wine—dodging the King's order to assassinate Galan Ashryver until a tattooed warrior (Rowan Whitethorn) drags her toward Maeve. In Rifthold, the Dorian–Chaol bond fractures under secrets as Aedion Ashryver arrives, all teeth and swagger, while Dorian finds uneasy shelter with healer Sorscha. Elsewhere, Manon Blackbeak prowls into view, a predator whose iron smile reframes the series' power food chain. Themes of depression, avoidance, and broken bonds surface immediately, setting up destiny vs. agency for Aelin Galathynius. Focus characters/threads: Aelin/Celaena • Rowan Whitethorn • Chaol Westfall • Dorian Havilliard • Manon Blackbeak • Aedion Ashryver • Sorscha • Galan Ashryver • Queen Maeve This week's guiding questions: Series arc: Do we believe Celaena's metamorphosis into Aelin Galathynius? Chapter focus: Does the opening of Heir of Fire feel adequately set up by Crown of Midnight's ending and the current status of every relationship?

Tara Jabbari (Who Was She Podcast) is going to do Natalie a solid this episode and explain the information she studied about parasocial relationships during her graduate thesis. Parasocial relationships are a niche interest for Natalie because she loves being a fan girl for her favorite creators, musicians, and actresses but often feels personally attacked by all this talk on toxic parasocial relationships. Natalie and Tara will talk over the true definition of a parasocial relationships, the cons that come along with having a one-sided relationship with someone in the public eye, and how Natalie has actually turned those parasocial relationships to actual memories and connections with the people she admires. Of course there will be special mention of Natalie's other niche interests: Taylor Swift, the cast and crew of Dropout Tv, and Kesha.Support the Show:Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram! https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!

If you've never seen G.I. Jane, you might know it as a punchline, an epithet, or shorthand for a certain kind of movie -- or a certain kind of woman. But watching G.I. Jane in 2025, you see a portrait of fierce tenacity and genuine strength, all baked into a Ridley Scott action war drama. Actor Katy O'Brian -- who is absolutely on fire right now, and the list of things you'd know her from grows ever longer -- saw in Demi Moore's character, Jordan, a rare glimpse of something she recognized in herself. She's a character who pulls no punches, deserves her place among the boys, and commands respect just by being true to her goals and skills. She and Jordan get into all that, plus some of Katy's recent work, especially Maintenance Required and Queens of the Dead.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a new Tubi original from Danishka Esterhazy, MATCH. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

For nearly 175 years — from 1563 until its repeal in 1736 — this act stood as part of Scotland's law. In that time, it is estimated that 3,000 to 5,000 people were accused of witchcraft. Of those, a staggering 84 percent were women. Torture, often in the form of sleep deprivation and relentless interrogation, was routine. Executions followed — frequently by strangulation or burning — and their bodies were often destroyed so they could not even be buried, denied the final dignity of rest.Our guests know this story better than anyone.Today, we're joined by Claire Mitchell KC — a distinguished Scottish lawyer, specialising in criminal defence, constitutional and human rights law. She is co-founder of the Witches of Scotland campaign, which seeks posthumous pardons, a memorial, and an official apology for those persecuted under the Witchcraft Act.Zoe Venditozzi is a writer, teacher, and co-campaigner. Born and raised in Fife, she brings storytelling, archival curiosity, and moral urgency to this mission. Her literary debut Anywhere's Better Than Here won the Guardian's Not the Booker popular prize; now with Claire she's co-author of How to Kill a Witch: A Guide for the Patriarchy.Their new book weaves together legal history, archival testimony, fictional vignettes, and sharp critique. It lifts the stories of those accused — women, and a few men — out of dusty court records and into the present. It asks: how did this system become possible, and how do we make amends?

Feminist dating coach and Date Brazen founder Lily Womble shares how to invest in your love life the same way you invest in your financial future with intention, clarity, and confidence. Drawing from her new book Thank You, More Please, Lily explains how to move beyond the algorithm-driven dating grind and cultivate what she calls Essence-Based Preferences—a framework for attracting the relationships that truly align with your values. We explore the parallels between financial and emotional abundance, why self-worth is the ultimate currency, and how to stop “settling for less” in both money and love. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, titled “Sarah Bernhardt with Elyse Rivin,” host Annie Sargent explores the fascinating life of France's most famous actress. Sarah Bernhardt wasn't just a performer — she was a global icon, an artist, and one of the most daring women of her time. Listen to this episode ad-free Born in Paris in 1844, Sarah rose from humble beginnings to dominate the French stage and the world's imagination. She acted at the Comédie-Française, starred in productions across Europe and America, and brought passion, emotion, and intensity to every role. Her talent was unmatched, her lifestyle eccentric, and her personality unforgettable. In this lively conversation, Elyse Rivin explains how Bernhardt became the first true international celebrity. They discuss her collaborations with Victor Hugo, her friendship with Alphonse Mucha, and her larger-than-life persona that helped define the Belle Époque in Paris. Annie and Elyse also explore where you can still trace Sarah Bernhardt's legacy today — at the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Petit Palais, or her tomb at Père Lachaise Cemetery. You'll hear how she inspired generations of artists and became a symbol of creativity, independence, and fearless ambition. In the magazine segment, Annie talks about tipping in France and the revival of bouillon restaurants, those classic Paris eateries known for affordable French comfort food and lively atmosphere. If you love French culture, theater, history, and travel, you'll enjoy this deep dive into the life of an extraordinary woman who helped make Paris the artistic heart of the world.

We've succeeded in pushing back against men encroaching on private female spaces, but now it's time to interpose against governmental and feminist encroachment on male spaces. On today's special show, we're joined by Scott Yenor, professor of political science at Boise State and fellow at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss his call for returning military academies like the Virginia Military Institute to male-only education. Yenor traces the decline in male achievement as well as the social problems between the sexes to the creation of androgynous education goals foisted upon society by government. We lament how some conservatives who complain about transgenderism continue to adhere to the very feminist ideas, such as Title IX, that paved the road for today's problems. Yenor believes we are witnessing a return to the creation of marriageable men and women among young conservatives, but that is a trend that needs to be led by leaders on the right who set worthy examples.     Learn more about your ad choices.
