Feminism has roots across many cultures, but how did it get its start in the United States? How did we as a culture begin to move forward with the Women's Rights movement? We take a look back at the pillars of feminism and take bites out of the classic stories being told in modern day textbooks regarding the fight for rights. We might even be downright critical of some foremothers who, we think, get a little too much hero worship sometimes. The road is harsh— how can it get better?

** At about 7:15, Remy misspeaks and says "Geraldine Brooks" in reference to the Black poet Gwendolyn Brooks ("We Real Cool", "The Mother" etc). Sorry for the slip-up!

CW: Misogyny, Racism, Slavery, Death, The Use of a 19th Century Racial Slur (while quoting a historic figure, NOT the N-word), at the very end we talk about Intersectional Views which means we touch on in passing Homelessness, Poverty, Privilege
