I’m old enough to remember many of the rights women didn’t have when I was growing up. When you position the products, services, etc. that took place around the same times it’s shocking.
With some of the hard-earned rights being stripped away by our present government at break-neck speed, you’ll be able to have 3 images in one drawing to show when a given right was enforced AND then taken away in 2025.
I loved your work immediately and couldn’t hit that subscribe button fast enough. I look forward to sharing your work.
A compelling list. Here’s the rub: women are not programmed to fight for themselves let alone each other. Systemic change, not sentimentality, that gets to the heart of the problem is the only way forward.
There's a good interview on the Literary Friction podcast episode called "Pain," with Sinéad Gleeson, who talks through some of these items though in the Irish context, which feels global.
I saw an exhibit on this in Europe this summer and I was *surprised?* to see that these rights had been granted to women dozens if not a hundred years earlier in less *progressive* countries.

If you are 54 - or older - every single "historic" moment here happened during your lifetime.
Definitely using this is my intro. to Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality course this coming spring. Happy New Year!

This whole place and culture needs a reboot-with fire…

Just a great summary. But also shows that women have faced tremendous discrimination—all within my lifetime!
Good grief! Now I want to look up other countries to see when they began looking (read: casually glancing) at the patriarchy of culture. Frack.
I write about women, maybe most of the time:https://federicosotodelalba.substack.com/p/comments-on-why-arent-more-men-talking?r=4up0lp

Great post, Aubrey! Serious food for thought. And we're still in the dark ages.....
