For all of us
March is Women’s History Month, and March 8 is International Women’s Day. All things being equal, we women shouldn’t need a separate month or a separate day, but all things are far from being equal.
Here’s one paragraph from a Washington Post article:
“… When textbooks do describe women’s activism, it is generally in tepid terms. Temperance leaders are depicted as Christian do-gooders who detested drunkenness and ribaldry, not as women who could no longer abide being raped by their drunken husbands and who feared the scourge of syphilis. Suffragists, to the extent they are covered at all, tend to be described as women who wanted to clean up politics with their womanly goodness — not as individuals who fundamentally understood that bodily autonomy and political autonomy are two sides of the same coin.”
