There has been an active movement for women’s rights since the beginning of the 19th century, beginning with Black women demanding the right to preach, to be free of enslavement, and to vote. That movement continued through the larger suffrage movement and into the Women’s Liberation movement from the 1960s and still ongoing as evidenced in the #MeToo movement. This illustrated lecture discusses some of the key personalities, the issues fiercely debated and fought for, victories, setbacks, and the promise of future activism.
