  • Moving fighting words this week from a conversation on police brutality to Black women to the Middle East isn't a disruption really, since the same principles apply: structural supremacies, power colluding with power over the heads of the disenfranchised/dispossessed who are being silenced; power accruing to power and powerlessness to powerlessness, in an endless repetitive circle; all of it disguised by the usual banalities that manage to be boring as well as lethal at the same time.

Sisterhood Is Powerful

It all began with Sisterhood Is Powerful—the collection that’s been called “the primer that started the modern Women’s Movement.”

“The simple fact of choosing one’s clothes becomes a political semaphore. Silkscreened T-shirts pay homage to the literary works of Robin Morgan, the American feminist poet, with elements from Sisterhood is Powerful (1970), Sisterhood is Global (1984) and Sisterhood is Forever (2003), which celebrate the concept of sorority.”
