Stop. Thank you. – my feminist praxis
https://amyhowtonblog.wordpress.com/2013/11/14/stop-thank-you
Critical reflections on my feminist praxis: activism, motherhood, and life. November 14, 2013. It’s been a wild couple of weeks.

I have never come up against my privilege as a mainstream, professional femin...

Feminism and Reconciliation – my feminist praxis
https://amyhowtonblog.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/feminism-and-reconciliation
Critical reflections on my feminist praxis: activism, motherhood, and life. October 6, 2013. I’ve been trudging around in the swampland of Reconciliation lately. Different parts of me stuck at different places, flailing around in various ways. And feminism, my feminism has helped me find my way. Thirty years ago my mom left. This is how I’ve always understood what happened and how we speak of it in my family, two simple words: mom left. Reconciliation is a verb. Thirteen years after attempting to hush my...
