“I want to [...] give a long overdue shout-out to entire generations before us that made ceaseless efforts as a collective to pull us out from underneath the stifling and annihilating repression of women, an ultimately separatist and life-denying act. God bless you each from the bottom of all of your postmodern daughters’ hearts.”

Alanis Morissette pens a short essay for Spinner on the ‘new feminism’, claiming “partnership is the new bra burning” in 2010. Though, as historians are so fond of pointing out, first-wave feminists never did actually burn their bras. Read the full thing here.

Fans of Alanis’s writing will be happy to know that she’s getting ready to publish her latest labour of love, a Jack Kerouac-inspired book formed of photographs, essays and more.
