Broadsheet, or, is feminism alive?

Few topics provoke more polarized opinions than the role of feminism in the lives of women in 2006. In this strange post-post feminist world of hypersexualized preteens and padded bras for six-year-olds, Broadsheet is pink-hued (both metaphorical and literal!) feminist analysis of what's happening in pop-culture, politics and everything in between. Compiled by Salon's female contributors and including the unparalleled prose and opinions of Lynn Harris, who in my opinion writes more eloquently on what it is to be alive and female in 2006 than almost anyone else, it's a refreshing look at just how close we are at times to having our most basic rights and freedoms repealed in a society where many of us take female equality for granted.


Love it? Hate it? Is feminism a dirty word? Tell!
