Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

According to which side of the divide you occupy, cultural commentator Camille Paglia is either the answer to the late 20th century's prayers or its worst nightmare. If there were a word to describe the opposite of the admittedly ghastly term "bluestocking", Paglia would be it. With her mile-a-minute mouth and genius for self-publicity - a talent she shares with her one-time heroine, Madonna (remember her?) - Paglia could have an alternative career as a stand-up. Like her or loathe her, much of what she says has an uncomfortable ring of truth. Tonight she gives a lecture in the Sounding the Century series which kicked off with her fellow countryman Gore Vidal. That, though, is probably the only thing these two have in common.
