"This s**t has to stop! Read some amazing stories of women who stood up and held their ground. They were and are the game changers!
Carrie Chatham Catt
Carrie Chatman Catt (1859-1947) was a brilliant leader of the women's voting rights movement and the founder of the League of Women Voters. Her story, like thousands of women and men, was one of courage, persistence, and determination. She made many trips to Pennsylvania to help the passage of the 19th Amendment. Her story and countless others must not be forgotten.
Lucretia Mott
Lucretia Coffin Mott was an ardent feminist activist, abolitionist, social reformer, pacifist, noted orator, and equal pay advocate. Her words and actions helped launch the women’s rights movement in the United States. Early on in her speaking engagements she often experienced hostile opposition and was threatened by unruly mobs for her beliefs against slavery and her advocacy for women’s rights. Women’s inability to vote, she maintained, was only one of many roadblocks. Lucretia Coffin Mott lived a life dedicated to the vision that all women and men were created equal. She was one of her country’s earliest, and most radical, feminists and reformers.
Molly Rush
Molly Rush is a National activist for peace, social and economic Justice. She has been a dedicated anti-war, civil rights and women’s rights activist in Pittsburgh, PA. Molly co-founded the Thomas Merton Center for Peace and Justice with Larry Kessler in 1972 in response to the Vietnam War, as a way to educate people about the place of peace in our society. She participated in the first “Take Back the Night” march to protest violence against women, and was a delegate to the National Women’s Conference in Houston in 1977. Molly’s dedication to peace led her to join with other anti-war activists known as the Ploughshares Eight. Their actions at the General Electric Plant in King of Prussia, PA, protesting the nuclear Arms race, earned her and her fellow protesters jail time. Molly spent 78 days in jail in Pennsylvania in 1980.
The Struggle for peace and justice requires persistence in the face of fierce opposition.
