Good news despite all the queer theory lingo in the article. Not that Abbott gives a damn about women and their rights--he and his backers know this is a popular move.

Obituary: Actress and later politician Glenda Jackson, 87, died the other day. She won two Oscars over the course of her long acting career: She also won two Emmy awards for her roles in television.
She had been a member of the UK Parliament for many years, retiring in 2015.
Snip:
Born into a working-class family in Birkhenhead, northwest England, in 1936 Jackson trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. She performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company — where she starred in the cutting-edge drama “Marat/Sade” directed by Peter Brook — and became one of the biggest British stars of the 1960s and 70s, winning two Academy Awards, for the brooding D.H. Lawrence adaptation "Women in Love” in 1971 and the sophisticated romcom “A Touch of Class" in 1974.
She was Oscar-nominated, too, for 1971 film “Sunday, Bloody Sunday,” and had memorable roles in “The Music Lovers,” Ken Russell's avant-garde 1970 film about the composer Tchaikovsky, and gentle romance “Turtle Diary” in 1985.
