Reviewing Vanessa Aspillaga's Pair of Cold-Blooded Villainesses
When I started watching Hulu's Only Murders in the Building on the day it premiered, I was elated to see (among other actors) Vanessa Aspillaga on the series. Aspillaga plays Ursula, the manager of the Arconia building, on the show, having appeared in nine episodes so far. The reason why I was so happy to see Aspillaga on the show is simple: I had seen her play a pair of very captivating villainesses on other shows. This review covers both of Aspillaga's villainous roles, and they are as follows:

Reviewing the Conclusion of the Women's United States Championship Tournament
The best thing to happen to WWE's Women's Division was the recent and long overdue addition of the midcard championships. First, the Women's United States Championship was announced. Twelve women battled for a chance to make history on the big stage known as Saturday Night's Main Event, and on the previous night's edition of SmackDown, it was down to the Final Four.

The Quest Marches On
Before a Survivor Series: WarGames event that saw ten women show out inside the titular match, quite a few developments were made to the Women's Division. On Raw, General Manager Adam Pearce officially announced the addition of the Women's Intercontinental Championship, making the announcement on an exclusive segment on the program. Similar to the Women's United States Championship, the inaugural Women's IC Champion will be determined via a tournament that will kick off on the next edition of Raw. I'll be honest, I'm happy that this was announced earlier than I expected. I predicted that the Women's IC Title announcement would be made on the first Raw on Netflix.

How Stridhan Empowers Women in Land Inheritance Issues
Women in Hindu society have historically possessed limited rights when it comes to ancestral land ownership. Unlike their male counterparts, they have not enjoyed equal access to land inherited from their ancestors since ancient times, largely due to the traditional concept of Stridhan within Indian culture. This custom has influenced the extent of women's rights in land inheritance. Legislation such as the Hindu Succession Amendment Act (2005) introduced a new principle of equality, ensuring that women receive the same inheritance rights as men, particularly regarding land.
