Okay, so pretty much the only thing I know about radical feminism is that it includes GC, centres women, and considers prostitution and porn harmful. I have read one or two GC/anti-TRA books but nothing that delves into any other radfem views.
I am not too sure where I stand politically on some issues such as hijab/niqab, porn etc as I am not informed enough on many of these subjects to have my own opinions or awareness (beyond the obvious) and have grown up quite sheltered whilst hearing things like "Sex work is work" without giving it much thought.
I suppose Germaine Greer would be a good starting point?
Any recs about important feminist issues such as FGM, child "widows" (and similar such as the history of kumaris and devadasis) would be appreciated also. I am particularly interested in S Asia and Australia but happy with anything.
FWIW I've read 18 Months by Shannon Thrace and Born in the Right Body by Isidora Sanger.
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
I've been binging this lately and I forgot just how obsessed everyone was with prairie stuff in the early 90s. I love it!
Anyway, it's a fantastic show about a female doctor in 1867 who moves to the "wild west" and has to prove herself to a town that doesn't take women doctors seriously.
It features a swoon inducing Tuxedo Mask love interest I like to call "Buckskin Hatchet", plus a colorful cast of interesting supporting characters. Topics like menstruation, pregnancy, and women's rights are routinely covered.
