"It’s in the act of dancing that we birth ourselves into completion. It’s under the full moon that we come into full expression of our femininity—not just for women, but for all beings who suffer from the trapped nature of the Shechinah, the embodied, Divine feminine presence."

The holiday’s origins are rooted in criticizing conventional beauty norms.

Who isn’t grieving something right now?

Yesterday evening marked the start of Tisha B’Av, which commemorates not only the destruction of the Temple but innumerable other losses as well. Any tragedy without a date on the calendar from biblical times through today gets folded into this day of mourning.

"First-person accounts [of horror and survival] by women have been erased for most of history. As a feminist, then, my responsibility is doubled: I must bear witness now, before the story and the right to tell it are taken away."

I had been avoiding Nobody’s Girl : A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice by Virginia Giuffre. I felt I should read it. I knew I should read it. Giuffre was a survivor of traffi…
