Enjoying this. It doesn't disappoint with it's costuming and direction, if you can enjoy creative licence they've taken on some historical detail.

It strikes a stylish balance and I'm finding the screenplay superb. Great romantic drama even in German 🙃.

For the historical side of things check out episodes of podcasts: The History Chicks & Vulgar History episodes for the raw deal on Empress Sissi's life.

Does anyone know a good piece (scholarly or otherwise) on the history of Suffragette non-violent and passive resistance actions, like hunger strikes?

I am kind of astounded I keep coming across sources that want to credit Gandhi with influencing the British women's movement on non-violence and ignore that he literally credits the Suffragettes as one of his big influences.

Does anyone have an available reading list or online resources for #FeministTheory and #FeministHistory (especially theory that includes class and race) that they can point me to, please? I am looking to better ground and expand my knowledge in the actual theory, but I don’t really know where to start beyond a handful of names and none of those are contemporary.

I've read up to the Greenham Common section in The Book of Trespass, which begins on page 176. On 173 Nick Hayes mansplains to feminists why "patriarchy" is the wrong word to describe the "rule of the father" and what he believes we actually mean is "paternalism" "Because what characterised these witch-hunts was not just gender but this particular structure of power." Lol, no shit sherlock. Hayes then imposes his own paternalism on the women who protested at Greenham Common, amongst others. He truly believes he knows more about patriarchy/paternalism than several generations of feminists. And having introduced his ill-defined term "paternalism" on page 173 he then manages to crowbar it into the remaining 213 pages 11 more times, to reinforce his power of defining other people's experiences (which, ironically, is the power he pretends to be opposing).

Greenham protest: "The camp became a howl against the paternalistic hierarchy" (Greenham's "patriarchy" = 4 syllables, Hayes' "paternalistic hierarchy" = 8 syllables). Protesting: "a world that had defined and confined women into roles written by men" [... oh the irony...] "Theirs was a space where womanhood was self-defined". (Who's going to tell him what he's done there? Lmao.)

While I'm critiquing, I'll also mention that I find his knowledge of the social history subjects he's tackling inadequate to the task he's set himself. I note his repeated descriptions of ruling class people as individuals with personal histories while he elides working class people into an undifferentiated mass of "commoners" in opposition to the central and centred ruling classes. And, of course, "The" Book of Trespass exclusively covers England, mostly the south east of England (Hayes is a child of Berkshire and it shows). The one true subject of this book is Nick Hayes, and his intended audience appears to be men like himself.

A Sydney Covid-19 lockdown research rabbithole from 2021 finally resulted in a publication:

My article - "Co-option or Recognition? Second-wave Feminist Politics and the Frigidaire Australia Women’s Design Conference, 1980" has been accepted by the Journal of Design History and will be available in a little while (happy to share).

It's an odd one for me... not usually a research direction I take but lockdown did strange things to everyone. For me - I got stuck into the archives of the Australian Women's Weekly from the 1980s. In 1980 Frigidaire sought the views of supposedly "ordinary Australian women" to design their new range of refrigerators...

Dorothy Pitman Hughes, pioneering feminist, community activist and co-founder of MS magazine in 1972, has died age 84.

In the '60's, she organized a multiracial day care cooperative on the West Side and met Gloria Steinem when she was profiled in Steinem's New York Magazine column. They began a public speaking tour and for two years they traveled the country bringing publicity to the Women's Movement.
