Part of the Series
Ladydrawers
The last few Ladydrawers strips have tried to look a little more closely into the contemporary relationship between gender and cultural production, covering historic and continuing economic disparity between men and women; recent – but very small – gains made by women entering Congress (and how those gains stack up – or fail to – globally); and a deeply embedded gender bias in copyright law. In these next two strips, Anne Elizabeth Moore and Laura Szumowski look at another part of intellectual property rights law – patents – and some surprising but potentially disturbing news about gains made by women in the field of feminine hygiene.
Our most important fundraising appeal of the year
December is the most critical time of year for Truthout, because our nonprofit news is funded almost entirely by individual donations from readers like you. So before you navigate away, we ask that you take just a second to support Truthout with a tax-deductible donation.
This year is a little different. We are up against a far-reaching, wide-scale attack on press freedom coming from the Trump administration. 2025 was a year of frightening censorship, news industry corporate consolidation, and worsening financial conditions for progressive nonprofits across the board.
We can only resist Trump’s agenda by cultivating a strong base of support. The right-wing mediasphere is funded comfortably by billionaire owners and venture capitalist philanthropists. At Truthout, we have you.
We’ve set an ambitious target for our year-end campaign — a goal of $250,000 to keep up our fight against authoritarianism in 2026. Please take a meaningful action in this fight: make a one-time or monthly donation to Truthout before December 31. If you have the means, please dig deep.
