"The Colectiva has been pushing Mr. Rosselló on feminist issues since he was elected in 2017. In November 2018, they camped outside of his mansion for three days, demanding that he declare a state of emergency as domestic violence surged across the islandpost-Hurricane María.

Odd Vintage Postcards Document the Propaganda Against Women’s Rights 100 Years Ago

"At the turn of the century, the women’s suffrage movement faced significant levels of abuse and resistance.

Anthony, as many claim, but a British suffragist named Ada Wright, beaten on “Black Friday” in 1910.) It’s an arresting image that captures just how violently men of the day fought against the movement for women's suffrage.

Toni Morrison, A Single Working Mother Who Became One Of The Greatest Novelists Of Her Generation, Died On Monday

Originally from Lorain, Ohio, Morrison moved to New York City in 1968 after being transferred by Random House, where she was working as an editor. By then, she was a single working mother who had published her first novel, The Bluest Eye, written during nights while her two children slept. In New York, she chose to settle in Queens, because as she described in a 2003 New Yorker profile, ”I always wanted a garden.”
