What Do We Do Now That a Hero to The Feminist Movement Has Passed Away?
Who are the leaders of the movement, especially now?
A hero to the feminist movement has passed away. There is no doubt Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an idol to most of us women and she will be sorely missed.
She was a hard-working lawyer, wife, and mother. She stood in solidarity with both men and women. In her formative years, spoke more about women's right to equality, in the workplace, in the home, and all laws surrounding both sexes, not pigeonholing either one, for true equality.
Her start as a formalized lawyer for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) and the founder of the Women’s Rights Project in 1972, made some significant strides in equality for both sexes in regards to the U.S. laws and the Constitution.
How are we to continue her legacy? Who are the women who fight for and represent women’s rights to equality in all facets of life?
Very few of the women that were part of the feminist second wave movement are still alive. Gloria Steinem is one, but she seems to be rather quiet nowadays in retirement. Young ones are also speaking, but the most prominent one (she seems to be the only one still speaking) is Malala Yousafzai.
