27 years ago, 1600 black women took out a full page ad in the NYT to show support for Anita Hill. I was 20 years old. I put $25 toward the price of the ad and signed my name.
We each can honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg by asking ourselves, "What would Ruth do?" Using this as a guide in our own lives will keep her with us.
We can also honor what she said so recently: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."

If we deny women control of their bodies, we deny women the right to be themselves. For all those women in Texas, I will say to you what I said when asked what I would say to Melania Trump: "I have a guest room in New York."

"I think transwomen, and transpeople in general, show everyone that you can define what it means to be a man or woman on your own terms. A lot of what feminism is about is moving outside of roles and moving outside of expectations... to live a more authentic life."-

Tomorrow is Election Day and Democrats are two seats away from flipping the House and the Senate in Virginia. That could mean our country is two seats away from ratifying the ERA. There is still time to phone bank! Go toย to participate.
Now that the ERA is one state away from putting women in the U.S. Constitution, it's time for New York State to lead the future with a first ERA that includes all historically disadvantaged groups. Move this to the floor -- and vote!

When this issue of Ms. was published, the phrases "battered woman" and "domestic violence" were just entering the language, and the women's movement was organizing the first shelters, and pressing for the first police responses and laws.
In fact, those three are endangering the female half of this country, non-white men, democracy and the environment by providing cover for Trump. In history, laughing at them will seem kind.
