Title: Jessica Yee on Juliette Lewis: Rock'n'Roll Twinkie
Post by: Laurel on October 03, 2008, 05:20:56 pm

"So yeah, we’re in a bit of a perplexing bind where perhaps we don’t know how to identify with our strong woman beginnings since they’ve been A) stolen away from us and B) re-owned, re-furbished, (and I’ll say it) appropriated in many ways by the White, mainstream feminist movement who still rarely acknowledges us."

Interesting read on the intersection of cultural piracy and feminism.

I know. What would people say if she was up there in Blackface?

Good article, thanks Laurel.

If I find it again, I'll post the response from Lewis' people.
