“You motion for another martini and down it quickly. What number is that? Three? Five? Why hasn’t He noticed you yet? You’re drunk but not yet sloppy. You’ll leave before that happens. Catch a cab, stumble up the stairs to your fourth-floor walk up. You pick up your cell and your fingers move slowly but you put a note in your phone with the name of the bar you’re at—sober you will appreciate the breadcrumbs."

Excerpt from the latest fiction piece, Last Call, by Chelsea M. Carney.

"This is the work of The New Historia: to summon women deliberately left out of history and discover them and the shards of information about them that can be found. As more and more female actors are made visible, another narrative of the human experience emerges that is more inclusive, accurate, and just."

Excerpt from Riley Dole's interview with Gina Walker, Professor of Women's Studies and the Director of The New Historia.

“The beauty that I saw in my mother—her brown skin, her large hips, her round tummy, her kinky hair—was not considered beautiful on her to the white homogeneity of the 90s. She had to strip some of that away in order to survive. Not just to be beautiful, but to be employable.”

“Beauty is a currency. I watched my mother transform each day to go to work, to look “professional,” to become more respected in the white spaces where she worked. I watched her perform similar rituals to become more desirable for Black spaces. I watched her ritualistically straighten her hair every few weeks. I frequently watched her get her nails done, in long petite acrylics painted with Essie pink color Lady-Like…”

“I daydream a lot about floating in the air. A slow, sort of dead man’s float across the sky. This doesn’t make much sense to me because I don’t like planes. Or swimming.”

“We emerge from the froth and part our lips, singing in unison. Our song is a euphonious trill forged by seawater and regality. A sacred language of cadence and rhythm that has weighed on the stretched husks of the Bantay Tubig, guardians of the water, for centuries.”

Excerpt from the latest fiction piece by writer and designer, Jillian Rees.

“In subway stations, at museums, on trains, in taxicabs, outside restaurants, on street corners, I found myself asking the question: What makes a New Yorker?”
