Directed by Mick Napier, Gates was Second City’s first gender-equal cast, also featuring Rachel Dratch, Jenna Jolovitz, Scott Allman, Scott Adsit, and Kevin Dorff. She then went on to co-write and perform in two revues, the first of which was Citizen Gates. In 1996, Fey joined the Mainstage company as an understudy for Jon Glaser in the format-shattering Piñata Full of Bees. She auditioned for The Second City Touring Company in August of 1994, just hours apart from Amy Poehler. She began taking classes at Second City, folding towels and working the front desk at a suburban YMCA in the mornings to pay her bills. ![]() ![]() Tina Fey studied playwriting and acting, graduating from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor’s degree in drama before moving to Chicago in 1992. ![]()

The updates follow edits made to books by Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming to remove offensive references to gender and race in a bid to preserve their relevance to modern readers. Sensitivity readers had made the edits, which were evident in digital versions of the new editions, including the entire Miss Marple run and selected Poirot novels set to be released or that have been released since 2020, the Telegraph reported. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We expect that you will understand our compulsion in these books.

I shall first consider women in the grand light of human creatures, who, in common with men, are placed on this earth to unfold their faculties', and she railed against those male conduct book writers who instead considered 'females rather as women than human creatures ![]() ![]() One of Wollstonecraft's main objectives in publishing her Vindication of the Rights of Woman in 1792 was that women should be viewed as human first and foremost rather than as a separate and irreconcilably different species to men. It's clear that debates concerning which characteristics are masculine and feminine rumble on even today and continue to chip away at the idea of equality. More than two hundred years ago, Wollstonecraft similarly asked why particular virtues should be regarded as specifically 'manly' and not - 'more properly speaking' - virtues that ennoble all humans. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With Harm Crenshaw, newly appointed intern, Desperado Detectives are on the case.

Voth's footnotes are occasionally simply academic in nature, complete with citations and thoughts on queer theory or history. I never thought I'd see someone attempt another Pale Fire, and I certainly never thought they would pull it off.ĭr. The story is from a discovered manuscript, full of thievery and action and lots of sex and there is also a Pale-Fire-esque second narrative that plays out entirely through footnotes in that manuscript. It was pitched to me as Sarah Waters meets Vladimir Nabokov and I was like, "Sign me the hell up!" and it's a surprisingly good pitch. There are a few authors out there intent on changing that and Jordy Rosenberg's new novel is one of the most ambitious ones yet. ![]() Historical fiction tends to be very cis, straight, and white. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gunn and Marvel achieved synergistic success in the grand tradition of other famous reclamation projects: David Lynch recycled a rejected TV series pilot into his critically hailed film "Mulholland Drive” Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David turned New York misanthropes (“No hugging, no learning”) into sitcom gold for the small-screen sensation “Seinfeld” and the Rolling Stones transformed shelved songs (including “Start Me Up”) into their hit album “Tattoo You.” “Guardians of the Galaxy” has always thumbed its nose at convention, cannily corralling leftover comic book characters. Instead the writer/director has turned the most mirthful of MCU properties into the most meaningful of bonding experiences - “Let’s go save our friend!” is the battle cry - where even supposed villains can join in a group hug. He could have made this trilogy capper another comic romp like the first two volumes. James Gunn, the anarchistic creator of the smart-ass “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, wouldn’t have it any other way. ![]() ![]() ![]() It says something about the current state of superhero movies that the fate of a small frightened raccoon makes a stronger tug on the heart than any imperilled person or planet in the relentless Marvel Cinematic Universe. ![]() |
