Spent my morning at the Run Like A Girl 5K. It was a pleasure to run alongside such a great group of women. I set a personal best at 30 minutes, 4 seconds. I placed 4th of 22 in my age group and 46th of 338 overall. Feeling strong today and, as always, proud to run like a girl.

These unbelievable vintage postcards from the early 1900s were used as propaganda by men to stop women from having more rights. Although The Suffragettes campaigned tirelessly to change the status quo of the day, many men found the idea of women’s rights not only disagreeable but even downright dangerous.

Because of this, propaganda postcards like the ones below were produced. They come from the archive of Catherine H. Palczewski, a professor of women’s and gender studies at the University of Northern Iowa who’s been collecting them for the last 15 years. The postcards portrayed the idea of change as something to be feared, not embraced, and they promoted women’s rights as an attack against family values as well as an infringement upon man’s place in society.

Diane Arbus, A Family one evening at a nudist camp, Pa, 1965.

In the Met Breuer New York is a breathtaking exposition of her early works.

My only regret is that I didn’t tell enough people to fuck off.
