Feeling Feminist? A song and a movie

Once again I'm full of things to talk about, and completely short on time. In the meantime I'm just catching up one at a time on other people's bloggies, and non-net friends. Here's a classic kd lang performance to keep you company. I'd always thought this was a joke song she'd written--didn't realize it was her subversive take a on a real 60s song!

(Don't miss the opera singing at the end.)


And as a companion, may I recommend this movie Fernando an I rented tonight, about the women Ford machinists who shut down the plant in their fight for equal pay. It's called Made in Dagenham and it's very entertaining. I don't remember seeing a single ad for it, unlike their other movie Calendar Girls. Movie about women taking off their clothes = $96 000 000 gross. Movie about landmark women's rights strike, made in the same light, fun, upbeat, inspiring tone as Calendar Girls = $9 000 000.



Johnny get angry indeed.
