ability to tell

own

is a privilege that hasn’t always been afforded to women. For instance, Patricia Highsmith’s semiautobiographical novel The Price of Salt was one of the first lesbian stories published to feature a happy ending, but it was not published under her name until 1990. Because of the struggles of Highsmith and so many others like her, it’s now easier than ever before for the real stories of women’s lives to be told.

It’s important for everyone to see themselves in the stories we consume. Turning Red is noteworthy in this respect, both for its presentation of Chinese culture in North America and for its depiction of female puberty and teenage sexuality in a movie that’s aimed at families and enjoyable for anyone. And Domee Shi is the first woman to direct a Pixar film on her own.

“This is a coming-ofage sensation where the supernatural and the mundane happily walk hand in hand, with each eyepopping surprise grounded in lifelike normality.”

The coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II was something of a departure in itself, as queens regnant are not common in UK history. And her 70-year reign was a period of great change, both within her realm and without. Just one of those changes: males are no longer given preference in the line of succession, meaning queens may be more common going forward.
