Purim is actually a good day for linking Judaism and women. Lots of people think Feminism is old-fashioned but even in the West some really stupid things are said or written about women.
It is the perfect day, I agree. We can never have enough positive coverage on women’s issues.
Or even coverage that encompasses social issues of importance and relevance in today’s world
