Strike Flash

I appear on stage, arising from my strike, to point to an exceedingly important feminist post and to introduce a new blog, 49 percent. Of course, the idea of 49% means to me 49% time, no benefits, and makes me want to burst into song (to the tune of “Joy To the World”): Joy to … More Strike Flash
