The passion for this recovery in women’s history comes from women believing we don’t have a history or a shared legacy. How do we write this? And how do we write this? You and your cohort feel this. I see it: curious, courageous, smart, ambitious feminist women who find themselves in important places, but slightly on the sidelines. And we tell ourselves to join forces. Make a splash. We shouldn’t be satisfied with small things, with small victories, with just what emerges from us. We should celebrate them, but we have to remember: feminism is most effective when it’s collaborative. And we can’t even imagine all those women who could have been involved, whose lives aren’t being recovered, who were left on the sidelines. I believe this is an idea whose time has come.
Talking to Gina Walker this year gave me life.
