After THE EXORCIST, Linda Blair's first theatrical film was AIRPORT 1975 in which she was lost in an all-star cast while waiting for a kidney transplant and having Helen Reddy serenade her (as a nun). Perhaps not a good career choice. Our favorite lady fared a bit better on television not long afterwards when she starred in BORN INNOCENT, a tough and controversial TV-movie that presented what was arguably...

At the core of everything I do, from brushing my teeth (while I gaze at my early morning face and wonder when THAT age spot appeared') to driving a car (no, I do not care to inch my way into the far left lane just to turn left, and yes, that makes me a scaredy-cat, I guess), to watching television (I LIKE the commercials - many of them are better than the shows!), I am a woman. I am female. Hear me...

In the summer of 1973, I presume I played baseball, went to summer band rehearsals, spent a week with my cousin and another with my grandparents, and drove a tractor on the farm to earn some spending money, but I’ll be damned if I can remember. That summer, unlike the rest of the summers when [...]

I enjoyed the following read from Marcia Oddi at the Indiana Law Blog on how her stories and objections (as well as from others) may have had an impact on keeping certain materials available on the Indiana Legislative web site, eg., Previous acts of the Legislature!. What comes to mind at first is "I am blawger, hear me roar!" Yes, I know I have used that Helen Reddy aliteration before, but what do...

For some reason I didn't reflexively change the channel when Helen Reddy singing "I Am Woman" came on the radio today, and I even listened to the lyrics, something I probably hadn't done since the 70s. (I've always considered this song annoying and embarrassing.) I was amazed by the line "But I'm still an embryo/With a long, long way to go." Here's this big old feminist anthem, and the woman is calling...

“Angie Baby” - what a great video by morrismovies A feminist classic. Is she really wearing a macramé halter-neck bra thingy? The audience seems unenthused or are they just awestruck? Her hair is nice. And those guitar doodles are ace.

This is from one of my favorite “mom-blogs”. Reflections of a Former Feminist: As a Christian-come-lately, I spent my life before Christ having it my way. During the 70’s Second Wave of feminism, I studied the gospels according to deBeauvoir, Freidan, Millett, and Firestone; together they formed a New Testament to the Old Testament of the First [...]
