Women have been at the forefront, whether protesting against war, unfair wages, reproductive rights, trans rights, or planning coups against tyranny.  In the first edition of Shapers of a Movement, we’ll show you three groups who fought against toxic and unsafe working environments, union busting, and harassment.

Most of our slides have links where you can learn more about these courageous women. That includes links linked through pictures (slides 5 and 8).
