The Beat Within

Volume 15.26

Another week, another Beat, and the following editorial note which was written by our old friend and now former colleague Julia. Unfortunately, Julia wrote the following editorial for Beat issue 15.23, particularly, because she wanted to address the 15.23 topic that delved into Gender roles. Somehow, this editor misplaced her note, and luckily, we just found it again. And, with that said, we present her words to you Beat readers in issue 15.26. Better late than never!
