Emily’s back! And sharing her rage with racism and the lack of real intersectionality in many feminist circles.

White feminists, do we have to say this again?

A video on racism from a white girl. I know that I’m not an authority on this, feel free to ignore. Feminists of colour, give us your opinions and guest videos! That would be totally rad. ‘My feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit’.

Harley Medical cosmetic surgery poster showing a blonde white woman with the words ‘Lines and Wrinkles? Ever considered anti-ageing treatment?’. Over the woman’s eye there is a sticker with the words ‘THIS INSULTS WOMEN’ and next to this someone has written ‘I agree’.

Nana Was A Suffragette - Words and music by Jules Gibb

Oh you never knew my Nana, she died four years ago
She lived in that old folks home in Moss Side, you know,
I used to go on Sundays, sometimes took the kids
I was always so proud of what she did

Chorus
Nana was a suffragette, almost the last alive
Nana was a suffragette, over ninety five
Singing “Votes for women, is just a beginning
You haven’t seen anything yet” –
Nana was a suffragette

When I was young I treasured an old photo of my Nan
Speaking to some workers from a clarion van
You wouldn’t think it of her, she looked so frail and ill
But on that day Nana emptied all the women from the mill

Nana was a suffragette never thought to fail
Nana was a suffragette, spent a night in jail
Singing…

The proudest day in Nana’s life was when the vote was won
The papers said “It’s over!” but Nan had just begun
Her Women’s Committee went on to better things
And they challenged the Union, the Council and their wedding rings

Nana was a suffragette, only five foot tall
Nana was a suffragette, took on City Hall
Singing…

Now here I’m standing with my college degree
And my own kids have more options than Nana could foresee
But if you think we’re satisfied, take a look around
There’s a lot of angry women won’t let their nanas down

Nana was a suffragette, it’s as if she’s still alive,
Nana was a suffragette, their voices still survive
Singing…

On and on and on, you can’t kill the spirit,
She is like a mountain, old and strong,
She goes on and on and on, you can’t kill the spirit
