Podcasts about we have always fought

Andi and Lise discuss the 1998 Disney animated film Mulan to determine whether it holds up after 23 years. They discuss its representation, gender, what it might have meant to different audiences, how it may have resonated with certain people, and the story it told.  Note: the story of Mulan is derived from a centuries-old Chinese poem/ballad created during the Wei Dynasty.  1998 trailer  Shout-outs! Lise recommends the The Vault, which she watched on Netflix. It's a heist movie (both Lise and Andi are huge fans of heist movies). In it, an engineer and his team are trying to crack an allegedly impenetrable safe beneath the Bank of Spain. Andi shouts out alcohol-free spirits! Get creative and enjoy a tasty and sober (and much lower calorie) happy hour. She's also been bingeing the true crime podcast Park Predators, which deals with murders in national parks.  In the course of the discussion, Lise mentioned Kameron Hurley's essay: “‘We Have Always Fought': Challenging the ‘Women, Cattle, and Slaves' Narrative”. The full text can be viewed at the link, and also in Hurley's book of essays Geek Feminist Revolution, which Lise also highly recommends.

Women have always played important roles throughout history, yet too often they are written out of official histories. We have touched on this before on our podcast, referencing essays like Kameron Hurley’s ‘We Have Always Fought’.  This cultural pattern has effectively made women invisible – we have been silenced and marginalised.

Kameron Hurley, author of The Stars Are Legion, The Geek Feminist Revolution, God's War, and many other epic books, joins me to talk about female warriors — and their frequent erasure from our narratives. Is it "realistic" to write about badass female fighters? What can we learn about the roles of women in war, and in society at large, by looking at history, cultures throughout the world, and the very real women who surround us in our everyday lives? All this and more in today's episode. --- If you haven't read Kameron's award-winning essay, "We Have Always Fought", you need to!

As Kameron Hurley discusses in her Hugo Award-winning article, ‘We Have Always Fought‘, women have always fought. So why don’t we see more women warriors in science fiction and fantasy novels? History is full of women on battlefields and in brawls, even if the history books might gloss over it. Remember: much of the history […] The post Fight scenes and women warriors with Juliet McKenna first appeared on Breaking the Glass Slipper.

Kameron Hurley has been honored for her mastery of numerous forms. Her first novel, God’s War, earned her the Sydney J. Bounds Award for Best Newcomer and the Kitschy Award for Best Debut Novel. Her essay “We Have Always Fought”–about the history of women in conflict–was the first blog post ever to win a Hugo Award. And although her tweets haven’t won awards (yet), she is also an animated and articulate presence on Twitter. Hurley has lived with some of the concepts and characters in her newest novel, The Mirror Empire (Angry Robot, 2014) since she was 12. But it took patience and lots of hard work (including multiple revisions) for the story about mirror worlds on the brink of genocidal war to emerge. Although her first book was a success, the other two books in the series, Infidel and Rapture, were hurt by the financial troubles of the publisher. Hurley rallied, finding a new agent and a new publisher, but the path wasn’t easy. As she says in her New Books in Science Fiction and Fantasy interview, “You’re only as good as your last book. If your last book doesn’t sell, then you’re not going to sell other work. … This is an up and down business. It’s not a straight trajectory. You have to work very hard, and I think that’s very motivating for me to know I have to work very hard just to stay in the game.” While writing is a solitary affair, Hurley has surrounded herself with a circle of supporters–and advises everyone to do the same. “If you’re going to have a goal in life… You want to be a CEO, you want to open your own business, you want to be a writer [then] you need to surround yourself with people who support what you are doing. And that’s everyone. If your family doesn’t support what you do then maybe don’t see them as much. I hate to say it. And if you have a partner who doesn’t support what you do, then maybe you should look at a different partner. If the agent that you have is not working out and your styles just do not work and you’re not getting what you need from that relationship then you need to find an agent that works.” Related link: * Follow Kameron Hurley on her website and on Twitter.
