138: Abolitionists and Lovers

This year, to honor women’s history month, we are going to cover a few of the major movements in the past that have focused on full equality. We say full equality because the fight for women’s rights has never been based solely on women. True feminism has always allowed room for any person oppressed and shunned to join its ranks. However, this certainly has not been an easy ideal to maintain, and time and time again leaders within the movement have been held accountable and called out for their bigotry, racism, and exclusion. Yet we are encouraged by the fact that it is often their own siblings in the fight for equality who hold one another to the high standards of feminist pursuits.
