    7 Ways to Resist This Week

    Kesha, "Here Comes the Change"

    Kesha, "Here Comes the Change"

    Kesha returns in grand form with the single and video for "Here Comes the Change," an inspiring anthem that, fittingly, is the theme to the forthcoming film On the Basis of Sex (out Christmas). That movie tells the story of the young Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who would go on to become the Supreme Court's second female justice and the court's unwavering feminist and LGBTQ ally. Anyone with a pulse will be inspired by Kesha's new anthem. Listen below.

    Colette

    Colette

    Rule-busting bisexual writer Colette gets the attention she deserves in the new film from out director Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice). Keira Knightley steps into the titular role in Colette, as the woman behind the Claudine novels who enthralled Belle Epoque -era Paris -- even if her husband, Willy (played by Dominic West), took all of the credit. Colette was brash, sexy, and way ahead of her time, and her early novels, written under Willy's name, depicted a young woman's sexual awakening with kink and verve.

    The biopic begins with Colette's marriage to Willy, her move to Paris from the country, and her rise as a star of any salon she attended. Westmoreland's film also follows Colette's sexual awakening as she proclaims and acts on her attraction to other women. Eventually, she and her husband embark on a polyamorous relationship, during which she takes female lovers.

    Colette finally settles on one lover in particular, the wealthy Missy (Denise Gough), who dresses in men's clothes and uses male pronouns.

    But beyond portraying Colette's lively personal life, the film is also a feminist treatise. Not only did Willy take credit for a woman's work, but he said he had to because a woman's work wouldn't sell -- a familiar refrain even today.

    Colette is in theaters Sept. 21.

    Looking for Lorraine

    Looking for Lorraine

    Lorraine Hansberry is finally getting the recognition she deserves, with a PBS American Masters episode earlier this year and now the biography Looking for Lorraine: The Radiant and Radical Life of Lorraine Hansberry by Imani Perry. Hansberry is best known as the author of A Raisin in the Sun, the first play by a black woman ever performed on Broadway. But there was much more to her than that, as Perry's book demonstrates. Hansberry, who identified as lesbian, was a member of one of the nation's first lesbian organizations as well as being a passionate activist for African-American civil rights. "She wasn't just a genius as a playwright, she was a hardcore intellectual," Perry, a Princeton University professor, recently told the Chicago Tribune. Hansberry spoke about issues that remain relevant today, Perry added: "She talked about policing and racism a lot and her anger over that -- which certainly comes from her experience seeing how police officers failed to protect black people and often targeted and harassed black people." Order Looking for Lorrainehere or visit your local bookstore.

    Watch: Assassination Nation

    Watch: Assassination Nation

    Ever since a number of high profile actresses had their nude images leaked to the public, hacking has become a feminist issue. Assassination Nation is an indie film that delivers a necessary feminist response. Starring trans actress Hari Nef (you may recognize her from Transparent ), the satirical thriller follows a group of teen best friends who team up to survive after their entire town is hacked and goes to hell. Nef also improvised the soon to be iconic line "You're the bitch. I'm a feminist."

    Assassination Nation arrives in theaters everywhere September 21, 2018.
