The Power of Touch
There is no denying that human beings crave physical connection. From the moment we are born, we seek comfort through touch, and as we grow older, touch becomes an integral part of our lives. It’s the first language we learn, and it’s the one that stays with us until the end. Touch can convey so much, from love and affection to empathy and even passion, making it one of the most powerful ways in which we communicate with one another.

Loving, Sensual, and Free: Viva and Feminist Magazines Through the Years. Top Story - May 2023.
Viva's launch in 1973 added a new perspective to the conversation between women's magazines, which at the time consisted of the Ms. Magazine camp, offering feminist news and writing, fashion magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, or traditional but still popular publications such as Good Housekeeping. Viva joined elements of these magazines with erotic content, refusing to shy away from sex and controversy. Associate Publisher and Editor Kathy Keeton explained "Viva's Woman" in her First Word section for the August 1974 issue, explaining who the modern reader of Viva was. The inclusion of antiquated delineations between the "feminist" and the "traditional housewife," as well as a decidedly heteronormative stance, shows how Viva very much represented social currents of its time. This offers the perfect jumping off point to learn about other feminist movements through magazines thanks to ChatGPT, and to begin to theorize about what the future of the feminist magazine would look like.

Women of the Mary Tyler Moore Show
When I was a child, I watched Mary Tyler Moore playing Laura Petrie on the Dick Van Dyke Show. I remember thinking she looked cool in her capri pants, slipper flat shoes, and loose, attractive blouses. She was a fun mom who was always there for her television son, Ritchie. She was sweet, a loving wife and mother, and a good neighbor.
