The Gloria Steinem Doc Broke My Head in Two

+ Bill Vollman’s Last Word, Dubious Sex Statistics, Adrian McKinty Has “Nothing” to Say, and How to Be Suitably Banned in Edmonton, Atwood-style

Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print

I have a review of the new documentary on the history of Ms. Magazine, Gloria Steinem’s brainchild, in the audio link above.

Ach du Lieber!

The new movie is on HBO, and yeah, if you’re a woman of a certain age, or a dude who was in the thick of it, you’ll be rapt.

—Even if it makes you, like myself, a little upset.

The Ms documentary, (poster on far right) used two images from On Our Backs lesbian magazine without credit. On left, Honey Lee Cottrell’s photo of Kokomotion and Debi; in the middle, Mariette Pathy Allen’s portrait of myself and Honey Lee. The “subtitles” are because I took screen shots from the documentary, what people were saying as the images were shown.
