Books That Inspired My Feminist Soul (Guest Post by Tyler)

Tyler from An Aspiring Heroine shares what novels inspired her feminism!

I have a special treat for y’all today! Tyler has written an awesome guest post. I added in one editor’s note, but I just barely refrained from chiming in on each part of her feminist book list. I’ve actually read every single book she’s recommended, and I concur with her thoughts. If you decide to click… [Read More]

When Words Fail Me

Me with my mom on my wedding day

The problem with being a writer is that I only want to share the perfect words. But how can I describe something as heartbreaking as my mother’s death? What words are worthy of the beautiful life my mother lived? Sunday morning, after consulting with our weekend nurse from Hospice, Daddy made the difficult decision to move… [Read More]

Giving Myself Grace for My Incomplete Goals

I accomplished very few of my goals last month, but I've realized they're not what's most important right now.

My mom’s terminal cancer is teaching me a surprising amount about myself. I am often harder on myself than I am on other people. When wielded well, my standards and ambition drive me to success. When brandished as a weapon, I become my own worst enemy. If you have been reading Belle Brita for at… [Read More]

My Parents Made a Feminist out of Me

I noticed sexism as a kid, even if I couldn't articulate it. My parents taught me that sexism was wrong, that I was just as good as my twin brother. They are why I'm a feminist today.

Post contains affiliate links. I’ve been a feminist for as long as I can remember. I became a feminist at such a young age that I didn’t even know what a feminist was. I didn’t know there were adults out there who understood how I felt, adults who agreed with me, adults who had paved… [Read More]

Because Marriage is Greater Than “Just a Piece of Paper”

Marriage is so much more than "just a piece of paper." But that piece of paper, the marriage license, and the rights it confers, is why marriage equality is so important.

“Marriage is just a piece of paper.” How many times have you heard that statement? I know I’ve heard it a few times in pop culture, but luckily most of my friends and family disagree with the sentiment. I knew I wanted to marry Dan very early in our relationship. It was still a decision… [Read More]

Why I Need Feminism: Just Read the Comments

Lewis's Law states that the comments on any article about feminism justify feminism.

Have you ever heard of Lewis’s Law? First articulated by Helen Lewis, this Internet rule explains the phenomenon of the comment sections on articles about feminism. https://twitter.com/helenlewis/status/233594800908169217 The tweet above reads: “As I’ve just told Alice Tiara, the comments on any article about feminism justify feminism. That is Lewis’s Law.” For June’s The F-Word link-up with… [Read More]
