Saturday Link Love: Tulsi Gabbard, Mothers of Iceland, and Child Marriage

Saturday Link Love is a feature where I collect and post links to various articles I’ve come upon over the past week. Feel free to share any interesting articles you’ve come along as well! The more the merrier.

English Club: A Story of Gang Rape, Trafficking, and a Dragon, on The Manifest-Station—“For three years all I remembered was the tea. The tea wasn’t even that good.”

Tulsi Gabbard Is Not Your Friend, on Jacobin Magazine—“So what is the cause of terrorism, according to Gabbard? Islam, of course.”

You Could’ve Asked, on Emma—An Infographic

The Independent Mothers of Iceland, on the New Yorker—“In contrast to the competitive, anxious parenting of middle- and upper-class Americans, there is an ease to being a mother in Iceland, at least among the native population.”

“It Was Forced on Me”: Child Marriage in the U.S., in the New York Times—“Not surprisingly, the marriage didn’t work out — two-thirds of marriages of underage girls don’t last, one study found — but it did interrupt Johnson’s attendance at elementary school.”
