Go ahead — say it. “Vagina?” “Vagina!” “Vagina, vagina, vagina; vagina vagina.” What’s that? It’s embarrassing? Kind of like buying tampons, condoms and pregnancy tests? (Well, what a coincidence — all topics are related!) Talk to Mandi Wickline about the topic, and she can give you her input on reactions to the word. As the

The word “feminist” might conjure up different images for different people. Some might visualize bra burning. Others might immediately conjure up the sight of Gloria Steinem and others of her ilk. Still others might imagine the different joys — and burdens — of being a woman in today’s society, defined

These days there may be a good number of people suggesting that they’d sell their soul for a good job. It’s a point Kathryn Smith, General Director of Tacoma Opera, acknowledges even as she sees value in the arts. “All of what we do is important, but it’s not an electricity
