Actions for Women's History Month Part 2: Lesser Known Feminist History
Our feminist action for today is to study lesser known feminist history. Practice intersectional feminism by learning the histories of groups of women that were left out of the narrative, including Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color and the LGBTQ+ community. Women's History Month is a time to honor the contributions of women throughout time, and we cannot appropriately celebrate when stories are left out.
