The Problem With Men Dominating Movie Reviewing

How Much Should You Trust Movie Critics?

On the cover of the book The Outsiders, the author’s name is written as S.E. Hinton. She thought if consumers knew she was a woman, they’d be less likely to buy and praise her book. Therefore, she used her initials to disguise her gender, and the book was a hit. Maybe this seems ridiculous or […]Read Post ›

Looking for a Halloween costume: how about one of the women Surrealists?

My Love of Call the Midwife: Thinking about Women’s Stories

  I am a millennial: eating that avocado toast, being unable to afford a home, and watching entirely too much Netflix.

Why We Love Hamilton, A Musical About Men

Alexander Hamilton’s life story, for all its drama, was always an unlikely source for a smash hit on Broadway. Hamilton favored rule by the elite in an already elitist society. He was adulterous, impulsive and privileged. But Lin-Manuel Miranda, like many musical theatre composers before him, saw in this unlikely source the chance to reform […]Read Post ›

Minds at Work: The Secret Lives of the Schuyler Sisters

Lin-Manuel Miranda was first introduced to the Schuyler sisters while on vacation.
