Next Sunday is Mother’s Day, and if you’re anything like me you forgot to get your Mom something. I love my Mom to death and I’m all about celebrating her existence and whatnot  but I’m pretty forgetful. Anyhoo here’s a gift list full of feminist sensibility. YAY for Mommys everywhere and lets see if we can get them in on the girl power. 

 

Lily Allen- Bust

Ms. Magazine

1) Subscription to Bust/Bitch/Ms./Lillith Magazine(s) 

All super awesome magazines with feminist sensibility. Bust and Bitch are edgy and centered around pop culture, Ms. is serious, politically involved and activist toned, and Lillith is all about the feminist Jew Crew. Since I hear the literary media is dying, let’s all lend some media-savvy sisters our support.

2) To Wear 

Wonder Woman Havaianas 

Because in my experience “Mom” is synonymous with “Wonder Woman”

Earrings…
