Artist Alison Bechdel and LGBT civil rights lawyer Mary Bonauto have been awarded Genius Grants by the MacArthur Foundation. They,along with 16 others, have been granted upwards of $500,000 to continue their work in whatever capacity they wish.
Two out women who will surely use the money and their powers for good, as Mary is the Civil Rights Project Director at Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders and was a driving force behind marriage equality and repealing DOMA Alison is, of course, the woman behind The Bechdel Test we use to decipher feminist-friendly movies from those all about dudes, as well as Dykes to Watch Out For, Fun Home and Are You My Mother? Well deserved!
