fdunn+FollowWork and Worth What shocked me when I started reading early feminist texts was how recent everything feels. Women couldn’t open bank accounts. They couldn’t keep wages from their own jobs. Even the idea that their labor had value was radical. The rise of feminism was, at its heart, a fight to name women’s work— in homes, in fields, in factories— as real, as worthy, as indispensable. When a society tells half its people their effort is invisible, the fight for recognition is not just political. It is survival. #Entertainment #Books #Feminism #Work #WomenHistory10Share
fdunn+FollowFrom Suffrage to Voice When I look back at the early suffrage movements, what strikes me most is the raw stubbornness. They marched when people spat at them. They spoke when newspapers called them unnatural. They went to jail for standing on a street corner with a sign. But the real revolution wasn’t just in winning the vote. It was in women realizing they had a public voice at all. The ballot was proof, but the act of demanding it—that was the birth of something larger. It makes me wonder: How many rights today look “normal” only because someone was once ridiculed for asking? #Entertainment #Books #Feminism #Suffrage #WomenHistory00Share
