Daily feminist cheat sheet

In addition to its new cast member, SNL has hired two black female writers.

And speaking of women in show business, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler deliver fully feminist laughs yet again in their latest interview. “First of all, if you think my going rate for anything is $1,000 you are looking at an old catalog.” Tell ‘em, Tina. 

“I’m committed to my rehab and I’m committed to my country.” Let us please heed this remarkable woman’s words.

A new report tackles barriers, misinformation and Latinas’ access to sexual and reproductive health clinics.

A bit of local news for my fellow New Yorkers: as of today, NYC has some badass women in power. Congratulations to Public Advocate Leticia James, Manhattan Borough Pres Gale A. Brewer, and newly elected Council Speaker Melissa Mark Viverito!
