Is anyone else fed up with being gaslit, asks Rebekah Barnett. The latest example is the lying about the Olympic Last Supper. Instantly recognised by literally everyone as a Da Vinci parody, the lies started within hours.

Boy Scouts of America has completed its girlification by finally dropping the last mention of "boy". It's the latest move by 'progressives' determined to pathologise masculinity and erase men, says Heather Mac Donald.

With her merciless slaying of the Freedom of Speech Act, Bridget Phillipson has shown herself to be a far more brutal political combatant than the enfeebled Tories. If you want to win the culture war, this is how to do it.

Cork - Event Notice
Thursday January 01 1970

Solidarity Books "Women in Struggle" Month starts this Thursday!

category cork | arts and media | event notice author Thursday March 01, 2012 15:27author by Eric - WSMauthor email solidaritybooks at gmail dot comauthor address Solidarity Books, 43 Douglas Street, Opposite Fionn Barras, Cork City Report this post to the editors

Our "Women in Struggle" Month kicks off this Thursday with a film based upon the Scottish anarchist Ethel McDonald.

"Ethel McDonald: An Anarchist's Story (2006)" Produced and Directed by Mark Littlewood "This drama-documentary tells the story of Ethel MacDonald. A forgotten legend, her story ranks alongside the courage of 'La Pasionaria' and the legendary 'Odette'. Whilst both these women sustained world-wide recognition, our Scots heroine dwindled into obscurity and remains forgotten to this day. Ethel MacDonald's own intimate recollections are presented through a definitive mix of documentary and drama, re-visiting the Killing Fields that were the Spanish Civil War.

Supporting commentary spoken by David Hayman paired with expert interviews, including Noam Chomsky, provides background knowledge of 1930's European Politics and a further insight into the young Scot's motives, actions and social situation. The film links her own personal drama to specific archive footage of Barcelona in disarray - an image Ethel MacDonald came to know so well. "

Copies of the book based upon the research for the screenplay "An Anarchist's Story: The Life of Ethel MacDonald" by Chris Dolan, will be available in solidaritybooks.
