Cynthia’s Picks: Designing Women, Rachel Chavkin, Queer Women

Designing Women: Thank you to all our honorees, presenters, supporters, volunteers and attendees for a truly fabulous 20th anniversary Designing Women Awards last week. Be sure to check out our photo highlights and stay tuned for videos of the inspirational ceremony.

Rachel Chavkin: Hadestown director Rachel Chavkin’s fiery Tony Awards acceptance speech (she won Best Director for a Musical last weekend) reminds us that the glass ceiling exists for directors across all entertainment, not just film and television. 

Queer Women: In honor of Pride Month, the Women’s Media Center takes a look at the progression of queer women’s representation in the media landscape.
