After the defeat of Nazi Germany and the liberation of France, Senon joined the CGT union and the Communist Party. She rose up the ranks of the male-dominated trade union movement to head one of the CGT's most important women's sections in Paris. Throughout her life, Senon, who styled herself as an "eternal rebel", never gave up fighting for women's rights.

Jane Goodall's death at 91 on Wednesday marked the end of a truly extraordinary life. She made discoveries that upended her field and fundamentally changed the human understanding of our closest animal relatives. She inspired generations of conservationists and researchers, and sparked a global fascination with chimpanzees and their fragile habitats.

Until recently, I worked at a feminist nonprofit. The founders were so assured in their politics that they placed the word "feminism" in the organization's name. This was when the work was a project-with no executive director, no board, no bylaws, and no expectation or even reason to uphold worker protections. Everybody was in it for the love of the mission, and it was wildly successful. As opportunities rolled in, the founders decided to institutionalize their feminist project by establishing a 501c3.

Ula Zuhra is a Bali-based illustrator, cartoonist and writer behind the full length graphic novel, Aca & Ica: Collected Stories.

Throughout Arca & Ica, Ula often opts for a heady balance of high contrast black-and-white, set aside moments of vibrant colour.

"The loudest feminist voice in the UK is currently transphobic... Dismantling systems of oppression lies at the very core of feminism, so transphobia is not fucking feminist."

Traditional Jewish weddings share key aspects with Christian weddings, historically seen as property transfers, where a woman shifts responsibility from father to husband.
