Feminism, From Abigail Adams to Beyonce

Portside - Feminism gets a bad rap. Polls show that a third of respondents believe it does more harm than good. That’s a direct result of Americans not knowing the true record of feminist activism and how, throughout American history, it has propelled changes that we recall fondly — from the implementation of universal education, to the abolition of slavery, to the knitting of the social safety net. Feminists built the nation as surely as the railroad did.
