Mordant Belle

Hello all! After several false starts, I have finally committed to creating a blog that really does something for me, and for the feminist blogosphere.

I am going to feature media on this site prominently, namely reccomended feminist literature. But I also intend to critique mass media and cultural messages, which includes advertising, magazine articles, journalistic pieces, television, web sites, etc.

On occasion I will probably add personal elements, as my relationship with my guy-lover-man-thing and my friends often set off personal insights and applications of feminism as I’ve come to understand it. Also, because I am an angry feminist journalism nut, I will probably post rants on here. And since I’m a librarian/research/intellectual/academic nerd, I will probably feature some academic studies and developments that pop up in scholarly journals if I run across them.

I also plan to feature resources and links, notes from class, the occasional well-developed list, timeline, statisitical table, or historical piece, as well as activities and exercises for feminists n00b and old.

This is my vision for Mordant Belle. Onward!
