[Wamvan] Girl Gang

[Joanna Chiu]

That's great! Several Girl Gang members have already signed up for the WAM!
conference, where we'll be able to discuss collaboration opportunities in
person!

And I really hope you could represent WAM! at the Miss Representation
panel, Natalie!

If any of you have missed Natalie's blog post on Miss Representation, here
it is: http://www.feminisms.org/3922/miss-representation-a-critical-review/

Natalie presented a workshop at last year's WAM! Vancouver conference on
how to challenge the media with tools such as op-eds, letters to the
editors, blogs, etc. I think her post on Miss Representation is a fantastic
example of an effective opinion piece.
