Madison Women’s Media Collective

We of the Madison Women’s Media Collective travelled to Milwaukee to meet with Ms. Loden in conjunction with the showing of her feature film Wanda[.] Though a little shy and nervous, Loden answered our questions for hours in the afternoon prior to the screening and continued the interview late into the night. Loden: “I know a lot of women are insulted by Wanda because they think it shows women in a bad way. To me it’s valid; it’s like showing myself and a way that I was. People say, ‘We don’t want to see anybody like that.’ Those are the people who wouldn’t want me to exist, and they would say that I was not valid or that I shouldn’t be heard.”
