Photo: “This Is What The New Feminists Look Like,” from More magazine
The image above comes from the latest issue of More magazine, on newsstands today. The photo features ten young feminists, (Karin Agness, Lena Chen, Megan Evans, Allison Kasic, Shelby Knox, Jen McCreight, LaToya Peterson, Morgane Richardson, Julie Zeilinger and Tracy Clark-Flory) and accompanies an article on “the new feminists.” Track Clark-Flory, photographed above, added an interesting viewpoint in Salon yesterday, when she reported she showed the photo to her roommate, “...a lesbian and reproductive rights activist.” Her roommate responded: ‘Where are the butch girls?’ “Indeed,” Clark continued, “it’s a safe, commercialized vision of young feminism.”
In a talk that likely will address this issue and others, Author Naomi Wolf joins More editor-in-chief Lesley Jane Seymour and panelists Lena Chen, Allison Kasic, Shelby Knox and Jessica Valenti [Ed. note: Jessica will not be attending] on November 10 at 92YTribeca for a provocative discussion: How do the young leaders define feminism? Is blogging the new march on Washington? What do the conservative feminists believe? And will the intergenerational clash ever end? Tickets are available here.
Upcoming Talks at 92YTribeca: A Conversation with Edward Burns (Oct 27); Y + 30: The Future of Retail (Nov 1); Rob Williams’ “The Mystic Chord” (Nov 3).
