On Our Radar

So many links, so much free time this weekend.

• Australian badass and WWII heroine Nancy Wake passed away on Sunday. The Pursuit of Harpyness shares her amazing life story. Seriously, how cool was this lady? 
• Talk About Equality discusses the firestorm around a new petition to marry Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street. Still no word on how the two themselves feel about it.
• Bitch contributor s.e. smith explores the particulars of the "Strong, Female Character." What do you think that entails?
• Gender Across Borders presents "A Gendered Look at Water Policy." Definitely a great, eye-opening read.
• At Model Minority Renina discusses the film Pariah and what it means to make a "Black film" in the Obama era.
• The F-Word wants your inspiring feminist or organization nominees for the Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize; Gender Across Borders is looking for writers for a new series on stigma, shame, and sexuality; and Bitch Flicks is looking for critical pieces on Mad Men. Get out there and write, everyone!
• Indian Country Today reports a growing number of aboriginal groups are dropping out of the BC Missing Women Commission. 
• nist.tv shares Eve Ensler's TED talk on the developing connection between her self and her body. Check it out.
