		<description><![CDATA[Marina DelVecchio explores how playwright Paula Vogel applies the object/subject binary of women's otherness to her work "How I Learned to Drive" which is a metaphor for the sexual abuse of a minor. Marina writes, "The last scene of the play is the most powerful as she steps into her car, not into a man, and it responds to her touch. For the first time, she is in control of the car and of her life."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kate examines the fashion industry's latest trend of using male-to-female transgendered individuals as runway models: "While I’m glad that some transgender individuals have found work rather than face discrimination in the workplace, I do not believe they are being truly accepted, but rather used for their bodies. The use of bodies that are predominantly male in their genetic, biological and chemical make-up creates a woman’s body that is scientifically impossible for people born genetically, biologically and chemically female to emulate. Feminists have long-criticized the fashion industry for its objectification of women. We are now subjected to the male body turned female, an ideal no woman who was not once male can achieve."]]></description>

We may follow the path of theologians, social reformers, and/or artists—or perhaps we’ll chart a new way unique to us. But attend to the task we must. And in the process, we’ll do the important work of transforming the world from one of apocalypse and doom to one of creativity and new life."]]></description>
