Brave: How Princess Merida Might Have Saved Me

In response to my essay “Bodies in Bikinis: Are You Buying It?” at The Rumpus, the editors of Gadfly Online invited me to submit an op-ed piece. My thoughts on DisneyPixar’s BRAVE are now live here. My deep thanks to Matt Conover for his excellent editorial feedback on this one.

I’m finding it’s as true of opinion essays as it is of my fictional stories: I don’t know what I know or care about until I write it out.

Thank you for reading.
