A Ladydrawers History of Women’s Rights: Part I Earnings and Yearnings

Part of the Series

Ladydrawers

With this strip, Corinne Mucha and Anne Elizabeth Moore launch a new miniseries for Ladydrawers: a history of women’s rights. In it, they’ll look at some of the ways that the historic lack of women’s participation has led to inequities in legislative policy that have damaged everyone. This edition, “Earnings and Yearnings,” traces the birth of the women’s rights movement and the lingering wage gap.
