Feminist Thought Leaders Who Ring My Bell
4
items I didn't know what feminism was until I was 53 years old. Now I'm devouring the wise words of our elders. When we know better, we do better. Then we pass it on so we can be better.
I'm learning so much from this elder in the feminist community. Her writing helps me see the world differently.

Gloria Steinem's writing is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.

Sonia Johnson is my spirit animal in so many ways. She was excommunicated from the Mormon/LDS church in 1979 for publicly supporting the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and speaking out against patriarchy.
She chained herself to the gates of a Mormon temple in 1980.
She ran for president of the US in 1984.
Watch her speech at UC Santa Cruz in 1988 to experience the charismatic delivery of her thought leadership:

The church warned us sisters that if we dabbled in feminism, we'd end up just like Sonia Johnson. They were right! It's nice to be about to think for myself.
Thank you, Sonia.
