In celebration of this <a href="http://twitter.com/rtraister/status/215194435330383872" target="_blank">backlashtastic</a> event, I’ve compiled some of my favorite images that are often the art in these kinds of articles: The mean/frazzled/distracted working white mom (because WOC don’t exist in this narrative) who has been fooled into thinking she can have it all by feminism. Good times.</p> <p><em>Note:</em> I haven’t read the piece (it’s not out yet) and for all I know is a scorchingly awesome piece of feminist writing. But the headline/art/cover is just too awful and (knowingly) plays into the anti-feminist cliche the search for work/life balance is greedily trying to have “it all.”</p> </blockquote>http://wheremistressesdie.tumblr.com/post/25951123923http://wheremistressesdie.tumblr.com/post/25951123923Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:18:24 -0400@MyAfricaIs: My Africa is spotlights : Phiona Okumu!: myafricais: 1.

This grounded twenty two year old author of provocative novel Coconut about black South African youths’ loss of identity in their highly Westernised nation highlights what can happen to African children when they realize that in a world that is black-and-white, life can be cruel when one is not black enough to be black but too black to be white.</p> <p>Matlwa is not only the youngest European Literary Award winner to come out of South Africa but in addition, continues to manage a hectic writer’s schedule of book readings, literary fairs et al, with a full-time schedule as a medical student at University of Cape Town.</p> <p>She cites Zimbabwean Tsitsi Dangarembgwa’s Nervous Conditions as one of her favourite books.
