Your post inspires me to create a "Feminist Freebirds" club of my own here in Austin. Our girls to see our wins against the tyrannous-tyrants of the world. This is a perfect opportunity to combine real change-agent historical moments with literacy & advocacy. It reminds me of the book, Watch Us Rise, by Renee Watson & Ellen Hagan, which pairs well with the advocacy aspect because the storyline centers on 2 best friends creating a feminist after school club at a social justice high school. I love seeing your soar, Sari. Brava!!!!
I wish our feminist club still existed! The year the Senior girl who started it graduated the school disbanded it - they said it wasn't inclusive. I was so angry and so were the members. It reminds me - two steps forward, one step back sometimes.
