“There have been many high-spirited characters before Jo March, but none like her, who wrote, remained herself. Creating Jo at a time when women had yet the right to vote was an unflinching move. She was an activist by example. And standing apart to extend a sister’s hand, she has always been there to greet maverick girls like myself, with a toss of her cropped hair and a playful wink to say come along. To guide us, provide encouragement, lay her footprints on a path she beckons us to follow.”

When I think about ‘my tastes’ in an expansive way, I think the common thread is explorations of femme-ness— living as a woman, being perceived as a woman, experiencing girlhood, existing as a woman within (or really under) masculine cultures/political structures/households etc. I often joke to my friends that I don’t read male authors because I don’t want a tourists guide, but I do find that almost all of the art I enjoy is women’s work.
Favorite artists: Faith Ringold, Camille Claudel, Artemisia Gentileschi, Claudette Johnson
Favorite poets/writers/authors: Maggie O’Farrell, Ada Lìmon, bell hooks, Charlotte Brontë, Valeria Luiselli
Favorite directors: Celine Sciamma, Kelly Reichardt, Celine Song, Sarah Polley, Greta Gerwig
Favorite films: Petite Maman, The Worst Person In The World, Frances Ha, Ladybird
Outside of the art I consume, I think my life is very oriented around womanhood— my apartment is overtly a woman’s house, my closest friends are women, the ways that I exercise and cook and dress are all intentionally oriented around my woman’s body and it’s cycles and needs but also the expression of being a woman, like not just a human person but a Woman, in the way that bell hooks and Virginia Woolf write about.

Historically, I have been too insecure to be a girl. That pressure of prettiness, of being delicate, of being desirable. I refused to engage. But this year something has shifted. I love cardigans, I want to talk about how I do my hair, I learned how to do make-up. Even though I'm not a model, I adore making myself feel pretty and sexy. I'm falling in love with the culture of feminism, and reclaiming mother earth as a mother. Girlhood is something so insanely precious and now, despite it being so hard, I am so unbelievably grateful I get to experience it. Want to merge my soul with every woman on the planet and scream OH HOW I LOVE BEING A WOMAN!
