The rise of feminism didn’t come from theory first. It came from hunger, from fatigue, from silence breaking. I think about women who couldn’t own property, who weren’t allowed in universities, who were told their lives existed for husbands, sons, and fathers. They weren’t handed a microphone. They built one. Every “first” was seen as a scandal: the first woman to vote, the first to demand her own wages, the first to publish a book that said: we are not secondary. That beginning wasn’t polite. It was noisy, inconvenient, disruptive. And that is what made it a beginning. #Entertainment #Books #Feminism #History #GenderEquality
