🔥 Feminism — or feminism for the establishment?

Who gets elevated as a feminist icon, and whose struggles get pushed into the background?

In her latest article, Fawzia Afzal-Khan challenges Gloria Steinem’s celebrated legacy, examining her CIA-linked Cold War past, liberal feminist orthodoxy and the rise of “Girlboss” feminism.

The article argues that empowering individual women within existing structures does not necessarily dismantle class, race, imperialism or economic inequality.

From Gloria Steinem to Gertrude Bell and Hillary Clinton, the piece asks a difficult question:

👉 Is representation at the top enough if the system itself remains unchanged?

A poem for Gaza by Fawzia Afzal-Khan. Read the full piece on our website.

A note from the poet: “I wish to dedicate this offering to my dear friend and colleague Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, whose concept of “exiting without” becomes a way of in-gathering: the lamlameh of ashlaa, rendering (w)hole the fragments of shattered bodies—and psyches.”

Fawzia Afzal-Khan is Distinguished University Scholar at the Department of English at Montclair State University, who has recently taught as a Visiting Professor of Gender as Gender and Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. She is author of seven scholarly books and a memoir of her youth in Lahore. In addition to teaching and writing, she loves to sing, act, travel and spend time with her grandchildren.

Getting ready for June 3. Who or what is Storytown? I call it a “distinctive blend of Americana and Britpop.” Charly Roth says it’s as if “Steely Dan were from Mississippi.” I say get yourself down to the Mercury Lounge next Tuesday and find out for yourself.

With special guests Fawzia Afzal-Khan and Huck Tim. And Downtown music veteran John Sharples’ band. Get your tickets early and often to save $ and avoid the line. Love this band, I do I do. #indierock #trumpet #saxophonist #mandolin #fenderguitar #singersongwriter @vinnievision @higuywhatsthestory @higuywhatsthestory @3fearlessdreamer3 @charlyroth @rickwagner66 @singing_professor @timjayrob @rembiecat @ericasmithmusic

Post-session reflection

Remember!! We all carry history; our journeys shape our voices, and telling your story can be an act of reshaping social, political, and individual narrative, ONLY IF done responsibly. One must see this as an opportunity to reclaim their roots with courage.

In-session thoughts: It wasn't a great day to be sitting at the venue. However, attempts were made to counter paranoia of escalating conflict between India and Pakistan via literature.
