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.
Thank you for reading Truthout. Before you leave, we must appeal for your support.
Truthout is unlike most news publications; we’re nonprofit, independent, and free of corporate funding. Because of this, we can publish the boldly honest journalism you see from us – stories about and by grassroots activists, reports from the frontlines of social movements, and unapologetic critiques of the systemic forces that shape all of our lives.
Monied interests prevent other publications from confronting the worst injustices in our world. But Truthout remains a haven for transformative journalism in pursuit of justice.
We simply cannot do this without support from our readers. At this time, we’re appealing to add 30 monthly donors before the end of the day. If you can, please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly gift today.
