Born in the jungles of Luzon, raised in the neon flashing lights of Las Vegas, I have traversed the world to find truth, justice, and the cosmopolitan way.
In my travels, I found that generally it is not good to generalize. So I try to find the nuances in the stories I read and write; the exceptions to every rule. My writing experience mostly consists of essays for courses, one chef d’oeuvre on Filipino music, and currently as a staff writer for the Rebel Yell. My work can also be found on my online portfolio.
Neon Feminism is about the struggles and successes of women and women’s rights here in the Vegas Valley. It may seem like a dichotomy, but there are feminists here in this tawdry bikini clad town. You just have to look beyond the billboards. Whatever the story may be – strippers unionizing, women protesting labor laws, women in traditionally male dominated fields – if it concerns women, I’m on it.
This blog is a project for my advanced reporting class at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Hello, I came across your page when researching feminist magazines in Nevada, as well as further news regarding the Denison case in Reno. I am a six generation Nevadan specifically from Elko County. I attended UNR four years ago and am now in NYC. I recently wrote a blog on my myspace (http://www.myspace.com/amberadeline) regarding my life experiences as a woman from Nevada. Having been raped myself at UNR and through several other degrading expriences as a woman, a human being in general, and previous bad relationships I was tired of being told to shut up and not speak up for myself. Upon writing my blog I have had several messages from women I don’t even know in my inbox, telling me similar stories. Needless to say, I am wanting to write more. There is a lot to say as a woman, plenty of research to be done. I would love it if you could take a few moments and read my blog, “Echoes of a Weed: A Woman’s Perceptions Stifled and Denied” share your thoughts, as well as point me in the direction of maybe working for a feminist magazine, or interning. As I mentioned I am in NYC…any guidance would be appreciated. Here’s to sharing our voices. All the best,
Amber Adeline
hi there – thought i would call to your attention this gynecology clinic that offers abortion services in Las Vegas. It is special because the physician and all the staff are women. The doctor is Harvard trained too.
You can have a look at our website. http://www.lvgyn.com
