Welcome Everyone

Hey y'all!

I want to welcome you to my blog, Unbeatable Curl Girl!

My title is based off the Marvel comic series Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, about an unlikely superhero who uses her wits and furry friends to pull off unthinkable victories in the name of Justice. She is kind of the unofficial mascot for this blog as she stands for what I will deal with in these posts. She is a young woman who refuses to be put down by society or told she is ridiculous or trivial. She lives her life according to her own rules and is proud of it - from her unconventional friends, to her bodacious non-conforming bod, to her social awkwardness. She's not perfect, but she is strong, brave and kind - a real hero.

This blog will be mostly about feminism and its intersection with art, literature, comics and pop culture. I will recommend things that I find to Feminist-Friendly and constructively critique the things I find not so Feminist Friendly from podcasts to art exhibitions to comic books. I will also be using this blog as a way to explore some of the issues young women face in today's world like, body image, the professional world, tense social interactions and more!

I don't claim expert status - I have been a Feminist since I can remember (thanks, sis!) and have used my education as a way to delve into these issues, learn as much as possible and form my critical approach to the world and all its complexities. I am always learning more and I believe that any good feminist or any thinker, really, always should be.  I write from my theoretical knowledge, experience as a woman and what I learn from my peers, friends and family. Objective Truth Claims NOT welcome! Let's be real - everything is a social construct, including this blog - so let's have fun!

Always in the name of laughing and learning,
Unbeatable Curl Girl
