		<title>Two extremes?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been hearing about these “two extremes” in the Church of the Brethren (CoB) recently. I have two responses: 1) I reject this assertion, and 2) I celebrate the extreme I am told I inhabit. First, I contest the assertion that there are two equal or similar extremes within the CoB. Sure, there are people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Lesbian Ethics?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sarah Hoagland’s article “Why Lesbian Ethics?” is a celebration of the lesbian-only (and therefore women-only) space that exists within the philosophical and cultural realms of ethics. Hoagland argues that this lesbian-only space should be recognized and developed. The thinking and living that happens within this space can only happen in a space without men (gay [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crossing Press: Sister Outsider covers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was surprised to see the cover of the 2nd printing of Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde. Both versions were published by Crossing Press, which has published a long list of books that I want to read &#8211; all about natural healing, sexuality, spirituality&#8230;good stuff! The old cover (left) is certainly dated. The picture could [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Social Construction of Black Feminist Thought</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What light does “The Social Construction of Black Feminist Thought” by Patricia Hill Collins (in The African American Studies Reader, ed. By Nathaniel Norment, Jr., 2001) shine on the questions of women-only spaces? Patricia Hill Collins argues that both the content and method of meaning-making in the dominant Eurocentric, masculinist world of thought are oppressive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sister Outsider</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read Audre Lorde&#8217;s Sister Outsider to find some wisdom regarding women-only spaces, and of course I found both support and suspicion. Many of the essays and speeches in this collection are focused on the constructive power of difference. Women in a space of their own can explore the differences between them, but also must [...]]]></description>

		<title>Like Water for Chocolate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Continuing an investigation of women-only spaces Formation In the book Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel, the ranch is a women-dominated space, though not a women-only space, as there are male workers on the ranch. While the De La Garza family is comprised only of women at the beginning of the story, Pedro is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fried Green Tomatoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have watched Fried Green Tomatoes dozens of times, so it&#8217;s hard to know how to begin a feminist analysis. I&#8217;m going to stick with my consideration of women-only spaces. While friendships between women, especially one-on-one, do not really fit my intended “women-only space” category, they are so foundational to Fried Green Tomatoes that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Women-only spaces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I believe that the most important and fundamental part of feminism is that women (and all) believe that women are full, whole human beings. I believe that women-only spaces are ideal for demonstrating this to women, by their very nature. These are the questions I will use to unpack the women-only spaces in many of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Handmaid and the Carpenter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Elizabeth Berg&#8217;s The Handmaid and the Carpenter was a shocking disappointment. I have been reading Berg&#8217;s novels for 15 years, beginning with the sorrowful, inspiring Talk Before Sleep. I was excited to read this &#8220;Christmas book&#8221; exploring the human drama of Mary and Joseph. I credit Berg with much of my emotional education, and was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can Sarah Palin Call Herself a Feminist?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Newsweek&#8217;s Julia Baird believes that Sarah Palin should be allowed to call herself a feminist for some truly ridiculous reasons. You can read her full editorial here, and I&#8217;ve listed her 6 points below. While I would never say that someone is &#8220;not allowed&#8221; to use a word, I would certainly say that I do [...]]]></description>
