History of Feminism

Think about how the movement worked to bring in Southern women to the suffrage cause.

Are there still divisions today? To some degree - yes.

But paycheck fairness in America? That's universal.

One of my first posts in the DU2 feminist group was - We Need A Paycheck Fairness Act Now.

We needed it in 2010 - and we need it now.

And it's simple - we look at the 4 main race/ethnic groups.

We take highest (caucasian women) to lowest (latina women) and we add them up and do a simple average. Every single one of us 'wins' when we work from the lower number that will result.

I really worry about women in their 50's who are approaching retirement. The time is now. They need to be able to go back and sue to make up for what they lost paying into Social Security.

My god - the Boomer explosion is coming and people can't see this? And women like me? Who DO earn well but had to FIGHT for it? I've no problem paying into SS on ALL my salary. It shores up the SS Fund for the coming storm.

A one two punch that will seriously help women who were ignored and had no one to fight for them when they entered the work force 30 years ago . . .

The time is now!
