Professor Miller's favorite columnists

This must be the day for me to share with you all stories about my favorite columnists: first Nicholas Kristoff and now Katha Pollitt. Pollitt writes for a journal called The Nation, and if you find yourself interested in the issues raised in this class, she's a good person to follow from now through, well, the rest of your life! I find that she often writes her columns about exactly the topic I was hoping for, and she has a way of framing things and using evidence and feminist analysis to make incredibly strong arguments.

This week's column is about Roman Polanski. We should talk about this when we do our section on violence against women. She's convinced me. Please take a few minutes to read Pollitt Here.
(PS: That was the first time I added a link on the blog. I am so proud of myself!! Stay tuned for me to tell you all about my favorite news correspondent, Maria Hinojosa, next week.....)
