In Good Wife, Wise Mother: Educating Han Taiwanese Girls Under Japanese Rule (U Washington Press, 2024), female education and citizenship serve as a lens through which to examine Taiwan's uniqueness as a colonial crossroads between Chinese and Japanese ideas and practices. A latecomer to the age of imperialism, Japan used modernization efforts in Taiwan to cast itself as a benevolent force among its colonial subjects and imperial competitors. In contrast to most European colonies, where only elites received an education, in Taiwan Japan built elementary schools intended for the entire population, including girls. In 1897 it developed a program known as “Good Wife, Wise Mother” that sought to transform Han Taiwanese girls into modern Japanese female citizens. Drawing on Japanese and Chinese newspapers, textbooks, oral interviews, and fiction, Fang Yu Hu illustrates how this seemingly progressive project advanced a particular Japanese vision of modernity, womanhood, and citizenship, to which the colonized Han Taiwanese people responded with varying degrees of collaboration, resistance, adaptation, and adoption. Hu also assesses the program's impact on Taiwan's class structure, male-female interactions, and political identity both during and after the end of Japanese occupation in 1945. Good Wife, Wise Mother expands the study of Taiwanese history by contributing important gendered and nonelite perspectives. It will be of interest to any historian concerned with questions of modernity, hybridity, and colonial nostalgia. Fang Yu Hu is assistant professor of History at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona who specializes in modern East Asian history, with a focus on Taiwan, gender, colonialism, and cross-border flows. She has published in the journals ERAS of Monash University and Twentieth-Century China. Her current research focuses on Taiwanese migrants to mainland China and Southeast Asia in the first half of the 20th century. Li-Ping Chen is a visiting scholar in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California. Her research interests include literary translingualism, diaspora, and nativism in Sinophone, inter-Asian, and transpacific contexts.

Being a mom comes naturally to me — making sure my son is fed, cared for, and always thought of first. But recently, a conversation with my husband made me realize that while I'm a great mother, I haven't always been the most considerate wife. It's not intentional, but somewhere along the way, I began to give my husband less of the same energy and attention that I freely give our child.In this week's episode, I'm opening up about that hard realization, why I think so many women struggle with it, and how I'm learning to grow into my role as a wife. From navigating old mindsets, to understanding biblical marriage, to finding small but meaningful ways to honor my husband, this is an honest conversation about the tension between motherhood and marriage.If you've ever felt like you're rocking it as a mom but still figuring out what it means to be a wife, this episode is for you.FOLLOW US: @girlsirlpod  @mariahclayton_  Don't forget to leave a 5 star rating!

Aaron Alexander and John Humphrey go full blue in this nostalgic deep dive into The Smurfs (2011), the live-action/CGI hybrid comedy directed by Raja Gosnell (Scooby-Doo, Beverly Hills Chihuahua). Based on the beloved Belgian comic and 1980s animated series, this family adventure catapults the tiny blue creatures from their peaceful village into the chaos of modern-day New York City after they escape the evil sorcerer Gargamel through a magical portal. The film features a talented voice cast led by Jonathan Winters (Mork & Mindy, The Flintstones) as the wise Papa Smurf, Katy Perry (pop superstar, Jeremy Scott: The People's Designer) as the sweet and sassy Smurfette, George Lopez (Rio, The George Lopez Show) as Grouchy, Alan Cumming (X2: X-Men United, The Good Wife) as Gutsy, Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Alpha Dog) as Clumsy, Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live, Portlandia) as Brainy, and Paul Reubens (Pee-wee's Big Adventure) as Jokey. On the human side, Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, A Series of Unfortunate Events) stars as Patrick Winslow, a marketing executive who helps the Smurfs find their way back home, with Jayma Mays (Glee, Red Eye) as his supportive wife, and Hank Azaria (The Simpsons, Godzilla) fully embracing the role of the villainous Gargamel in a delightfully over-the-top performance. Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) also appears as Patrick's demanding boss. Packed with slapstick comedy, magical hijinks, and heartwarming moments, the film includes memorable scenes like the Smurfs causing chaos in FAO Schwarz, Gargamel's frantic chase through Central Park, and Papa Smurf's touching leadership that anchors the team. Whether you grew up with the classic cartoons or are discovering these characters for the first time, The Smurfs delivers a colorful, family-friendly ride.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Graham Phillips (Little Shop of Horrors, 13). Suddenly, Graham y'all! The twins are gagged to have this star of stage and screen on the podcast to honor his highly anticipated return to the New York stage. But first, the boys gag over Orville Peck and Eva Noblezada in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club. Graham is currently starring as Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors, alongside longtime friend and castmate Liz Gillies. From the workshops of 13 to the streets of Skid Row, they're finally reunited onstage. Graham discusses what it's been like joining the show, spills tea on the roles-that-almost-were over the years, and a possible clowning storyline. We ask about highlights from The Good Wife (and what he would've done on The Good Fight!), memories from Riverdale, and his film studio that he runs with his brother: Phillips Pictures. Chemistry reads with Zachary Quinto, wrap parties with Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford, and late night karaoke sessions with Liz Gillies and 13 alums are allllll mentioned. Stick around to find out what Graham's (and Seymour Krelborn's) enneagram type is!

Alan Cumming on “The Traitors” and His Brush with Reality Television

When Emily Nussbaum introduced Alan Cumming at the New Yorker Festival, she said, “Plenty of actors light up a room, but Alan Cumming is more of a disco ball—reflecting every possible angle of show business.” Cumming appears in mainstream dramas such as “The Good Wife,” and also more indie projects like his one-man version of “Macbeth”; his performances in musicals such as “Cabaret” are legendary. He also owns a nightclub; his memoir “Not My Father's Son” was a bestseller, and so on. And Cumming plays the host on the Emmy-winning reality show “The Traitors.” He combines “a dandy Scottish laird—sort of James Bond villain, sort of eccentric, old-fashioned nut who has this big castle.” Spoiler alert: “It's supposed to be my castle. It's not.” Nussbaum asks about his perspective on reality TV before he started on “Traitors.” “Zero, really,” Cumming confesses. “I was a bit judgy. … The thing I don't like about a lot of those shows is that they laud and therefore encourage bad behavior and lack of kindness.” Before “The Traitors,” Cumming's first brush with reality television was on “Who Do You Think You Are?,” a BBC genealogy program that confronted him with shocking secrets about his own family. “It made a good memoir, I suppose,” he jokes. “Just how awful that was. It was awful. But no, I don't regret it.”
