We know not all women have periods or uteruses (uteri??), but check out this trailblazer: #LeonaChalmers, the inventor of the menstrual cup. Leona was an actress and inventor (and overall badass/genius) who was way ahead of her time. All the way back in 1937 she realized what many of us are just now realizing, that traditional period products just weren’t cutting it. She became “acutely aware of the needs for special improvements in the methods used for intimate feminine hygiene” and filed a patent for the menstrual cup. Love her. Fast forward 82 years and her invention is finally on the rise and gaining huge momentum! Do you use a cup? via @dotcup

From Issue 04 alum @tlynnfaz of @stoptellingwomentosmile: “Women Are Just Trying to Make it Home Safe. Rakia and I spoke about her particular experiences and perspective on street harassment for my book, Stop Telling Women to Smile. She talked about something that struck me. How women are just trying to make it home without being harassed, followed, talked to, cat called, sexualized, whistled at. How we are navigating past violence, rerouting ourselves, smiling and nodding to keep interactions neutral, just to make it home safely. And particularly, Black women, similar to other Black people, are also navigating past police violence in order to make it home safely. It’s something that so many women feel and are taught, the significance of safety. The reality is that women die at the hands of men who feel rejected by them. When we talk about street harassment, we are talking about the right to a sense of safe movement in the public, something that so many women do not have.” Stop Telling Women to Smile is available for pre-order, right now, at the link in @tlynnfaz’s bio.

CONGRATS LIZZO!! 👑 🍾Check out @lisabutterworth’s 2015 interview with her up on our site now! 📸 @ashaefia #lizzo #100percentthatbitch #truthhurts #gotagirlcrush
On this day, 1 September 1911, five women published the first issue of Japan's first all-women literary magazine, called Bluestocking (青鞜 Seitō), which is credited with kickstarting the feminist movement in the country. In it, poet Akiko Yosano wrote: "The day has arrived when the mountains are about to become active… The mountains have simply been dormant for awhile… Believe only this: Now all the women who lay dormant are rousing themselves." The issue was banned for containing a short story about the breakup of an arranged marriage, but was still a commercial success. Other issues were banned for containing erotic stories expressing female sexuality or for calling on women to marry for love. The magazine became increasingly radical, moving primarily from publishing literature to openly rejecting traditional gender roles, calling for legalised abortion, free love and criticising capitalism. In 1915 editorship passed to anarchist Noe Ito, but it was forced to close the following year by authorities who penalised distributors who carried the publication. via @workingclasshistory
