Is it more difficult?

"Is it harder for women in the industry in general? Definitely. I was trying to make a case for Madonna the other day, saying that she's to be admired for her longevity in a genre that has mostly been for younger acts. Men are able to sustain a career into their 50s and 60s and still present themselves as sex symbols. With women on the other hand, people say, 'Why doesn't she retire?' It's just so unfair. So I have to give props to Madonna."

- Tracy Chapman tells The Guardian

Upcoming Events!

We have been doing pretty darn well this semester, what with the abundant t-shirts and buttons that have been sold and new ideas swirling around. Well, add another event to your list of things to do this semester (which should also include reading the book Smashed and Manifesta).

Also, keep March open and come out the Women's History Month speakers that SAGE will be hosting! Events are in our SAGE calendar. Add it to your own google calendar.
We are currently working on more buttons and hope to sell them at the upcoming events.
