Happy International Women's Day.

[err, I meant to post that earlier. With some content. But I left the tab open on the other computer. Go me!]

Have some links to stuff I've been reading instead:

Maria Agnesi, the first woman appointed university professor; linguist, mathematician, philosopher, theologian.
Henrietta Lacks, an ill and poor Black woman whose unethically-harvested cells formed the first immortal cell line, grown to over 50 million metric tons since 1951, and used in various scientific research.
From One Third World Woman to Another. Iranian-Swedish academic Golbarg Bashi talks with Indian academic Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.

Let's juxtapose these tl;dr links with an image from a Diesel marketing campaign. Please deconstruct the overall narrative arc of this post with special attention to speciesism, monarchism, racism, imperialism, disorientalism, conceits of Western academia, hypergonadism, carnivorism, sexy nuns, chaste models, structuralism, and pseudoantidisestablishmentarianism.
