Cocktails & Conversations: Feminism in Popular Culture

Posted

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Wonder Woman, Beyonce, The Handmaid's Tale, Rey from Star Wars, Hunger Games, Amy Schumer, Kamala Khan, Ava Duvernay, Rhianna...these are stories, characters and performers. They communicate a message to the general public about what it means to be female in today’s day and age. Feminists can be funny, sassy, multi-talented, strong and loud. Join us for a discussion about how popular culture highlights all the ways that the feminist-minded among us are championing gender equity, racial justice, and social liberation.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
