A couple of months ago, on a lark, I sent an email to Bitch magazine’s reviews department telling them about Sociological Images. If you’ve never read Bitch, you’re missing out–it has great articles on various elements of pop culture, and my only complaint is that it only comes out four times a year.
Anyway, this afternoon issue no. 40 showed up in my mailbox…and look what’s #14 on “the bitch list: an annotated guide to some of our favorite things”:
It’s on p. 71. Sadly my follow up email about the website address change got lost, so it has the old web address, but still! Yay!
This may overshadow the day I passed my Ph.D. defense in terms of excitement.

Loved how the girl was girl was a total slut and the guys who took advantage of her were innocent. Even when they all came at her.... Yep, all her fault.

"Shout out from Bitch Magazine: This may overshadow the day I passed my Ph.D. defense in terms of excitement."
Well, I bet more of us have read / regularly read the website, than have read your dissertation.
(Meaning no disrespect to your scholarship.) But I can't help but feel that publishing in specialized journals that only a few other specialists read has become increasingly pointless, and open access is the way we all need to go. Keep up the inspired work!

I just got my issue of Bitch this afternoon, and sought out your site as soon as I put the magazine down. Thank you!
