New Woman
This masterful piece of documentary filmmaking deftly blends artistic modes of storytelling with critically informed social analysis about the emergence of feminism in Korea in the early twentieth century. New Women focuses in particular on early feminist Na Haesuk, a celebrated writer and painter, and others like her who blazed a trail for their contemporary female counterparts in the twenty-first century. Interviews with scholars, feminists, and a monk who knew Na Haesuk as a young child, are interspersed with rare archival footage and photographs of a dynamic era of transformation in Korean history.

We Have Always Been Storytellers by Rebecca Carroll
Black women have been honoring and lifting our voices, sharing our strengths, broadening our revolutionary scope since we got here. We tell stories that come through our hair and our hips, our shoulders and our ride-or-die stride as we walk alongside one another, tethered to our tropes, ever strong, mammified, oversexualized but ultimately free together. Brit Bennett, Jasmine Guillory and Jacqueline Woodson are three of our finest novelists in America today. They tell narrative stories with grace and nuance, humor and curiosity, and with characters who exist because Black women called them to live. The four of us spoke about the long-standing contributions of Black women writers, who holds the power in publishing and the notion of a renaissance.
