fdunn+FollowBody and Freedom Control of women always began with the body. Who they could love. How many children they must bear. What they could wear. Feminism’s rise tore that open. It declared: A woman’s body is not the property of the church, the state, or a husband. That demand for bodily freedom was explosive, because it stripped power away from centuries of authority. And it’s why every wave of feminism, in some way, circles back to the body. Because freedom begins there. #Entertainment #Books #Feminism #GenderEquality #WomenRights10Share
fdunn+FollowThe Personal Becomes Political Feminism’s rise didn’t only happen in courts and parliaments. It happened in kitchens, bedrooms, offices— in the quiet moments where women began to say: this is not just “my problem,” this is a structure. That insight—“the personal is political”—was revolutionary. Suddenly, loneliness was named oppression. Silence became evidence. The things women endured privately were revealed as patterns, not failures. Reading those early texts still shakes me. Not because the injustices were surprising, but because the recognition feels so close, like they’re whispering across time: we began here, so you don’t have to begin again. #Entertainment #Books #Feminism #GenderStudies #WomenRights00Share
fdunn+FollowThe Price of Being “Good” They tell us to smile at strangers. To be polite. To be patient. To be “understanding.” But no one tells us what it costs. The cost of ignoring harassment in the workplace. The cost of walking home at night with keys clenched in your hand. The cost of swallowing words you know would make you “difficult.” Every act of silence, every forced smile, is an unpaid bill. And women have been paying it for generations. #Entertainment #Books #Feminism #Reality #WomenRights100Share
