American Feminism can be found by looking back at the past 100 years.

You probably think of someone from the 21st century crusading for one of the various causes intersecting with women’s issues.You likely do not envision the women who tirelessly fought for the right to vote alongside their husbands, brothers, and sons or the women from the 1960s who longed for equal opportunities and pay. Reflecting on the past 100 years illuminates the struggles and similarities between feminists of the past and today. BURST
