When I was a 7 year old child , I was living in a Chicago suburb (Riverside) and I walked almost a mile to and from school every day. Despite the harsh weather, Chicago schools did not allow girls to wear pants to school! Girls HAD to wear skirts. That was the beginning of my Continue reading “GLORIA STEINEM CHANGED THE WORLD”
Dolly Parton continues to make headlines a week after her unexpected death, and here’s what we know. Ever the perfectionist as well as the consummate performer, not only did Dolly get all of her ducks in a row prior to her passing ( my source reveals she knew her time was limited) but she also Continue reading “HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW”
It’s ABOUT TIME. Gloria Steinem and many other domestic abuse experts have come together in public support of Amber Heard.

Until we were reminded by a Hollywood Reporter Flashback, we had TOTALLY forgotten that Kirstie Alley (of all people) portrayed Gloria Steinem on film LONG before Rose Byrne played Gloria in Mrs America!

Ronan Farrow (we like to call him a girl’s best friend) hosted an A&E Network women’s panel in New York that included one of our all-time favorite people – Gloria Steinem.

Shame, shame, shame on the Kardashians and Jenners for not sending a SINGLE family member to take part in the Women’s March. Too busy taking selfies? Keep in mind the Kardashian-Jenner family made their fortune because teen girls watched their TV shows. The Kardashians taught these young female fans to slather on their makeup and Continue reading “WOMENS RIGHTS ARE NO BIG DEAL TO THE KARDASHIANS”
“Suffragette” should be required viewing for all young women. (Those of us who are not so young don’t need to be encouraged – we’ll be there.) Few movies have been made about the grim necessity of the women’s movement because MEN are in charge in Hollywood and they don’t like to be reminded of their Continue reading “IT’S YOUR DUTY AS A WOMAN TO SEE “SUFFRAGETTE””
Now THIS is good news! We’ve been bombarded with biographies of MEN lately (The Theory of Everything, The Imitation Game, American Sniper, etc) and we’ve been WISHING that someone would document Gloria Steinem’s life on film.
