Activism

Charlaque lived through perhaps one of the most horrific periods in world history as a Jew AND as a transgender woman, AND she survived.

Attending my friend’s club truly opened my eyes to the horrific reality that is day-to-day life for many Turkish women.

Jewish women, like Patricia Barr and Rose Kushner, fought so people like my grandmother could live happy and full lives after breast cancer. 

One of the themes in Bella’s story is a refusal to stay down when pushed into a corner.

Anger can be a very powerful tool for Jewish women.

Learning about Emma Lazarus' important work aiding Eastern European refugees fleeing from discrimination, violence, and pogroms inspired me to think more deeply about immigration: both its connection to my own life and to today’s world.

I feel most sure of my gender identity and presentation when it melds with my Jewish cultural identity.

I was dubbed “femenistit masricha,” a smelly feminist, on the first day of seventh grade. I kind of liked it. 

Feminism does not require that all women are the same and should react in the same manner to misogyny.

Being Jewish, Chinese, and American has fed my aspiration to ensure that more non-traditional Jewish people feel comfortable with their identities.

As we progress and amend our traditions, we can take wisdom from past rulings to benefit the Feminist cause.
