This week director Jane Campion lamented that she is one of only three female directors at the Cannes Film Festival. She is also one of three female directors ever nominated for an Academy Award (”The Piano,” 1993).

I had an interesting run in with Lou Dobbs on May 8th. The clip has just become available at YouTube and on my site at www.lauraflanders.com as well as on Crooks and Liars. Dave Niewert at Orcinus transcribed the key part and kicked off an interesting conversation about Dobbs and macho bullying. […]

A headline you will never see on television. But you do see the same thing with “mothers” replaced for “fathers”. NTodd alerted me to today’s version:
CHETRY: This just another case of blame mom for everything? Could working mothers be responsible for kids getting fatter? Well, it’s a controversial theory that Doctor Sanjay Gupta […]

Lisa Jervis, chair of the board of Women In Media & News and co-founder of Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture magazine, has a great piece in Campus Progress responding to the controversy buzzing in the blogosphere about Garance Franke-Ruta’s provocative online Wall Street Journal opinion piece proposing that the age minimum for participation in […]

There’s an interesting piece about women and work in today’s New York Times by Lisa Belkin. She writes there is a “growing acceptance” of a non-linear career and that corporations are developing new, innovative strategies to lure “opt out” Moms back into jobs.
The nice thing about Ms. Belkin’s latest piece is that she begins […]

This is a familiar story. I just had the experience of seeing a thoughtful interview with a reporter reduced to a very unsatisfying soundbite in the New York Times (see “Genetic Testing + Abortion = ???“; May 13). This post is a way to vent my […]

Cross-posted from the Feminist Peace Network blog:
You know it’s Monday morning when…according to the San Francisco Chronicle:
