Building Beloved Community 3/28/24

Feminist by Feminist

In celebration of Women’s Herstory Month, renowned feminist figures like Gloria Steinem (who recently turned 90!) are often spotlighted. As a white woman, Steinem brought an inclusive lens to the work, believing that race, gender, age, and ethnicity must be addressed together. 

In addition to well-known white feminists, it’s also important to recognize the remarkable contributions of lesser-known but equally impactful Black women such as Barbara Smith, Audre Lorde, Lorraine Hansberry, Frances Beal, and Anna Julia Cooper. These extraordinary individuals made significant strides within the feminist movement, leaving behind a lasting legacy of empowerment and advocacy.
