An organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women. No matter the current demonizing of the word, I wear it proudly. It fits nicely with the second definition, freethought. No one can control my thoughts. I refuse to be guilty for thinking whatever I think.
Organized religion plays a number on society, especially women.
In the 70's I identified the frustration and anger that surged like a raging river in my thoughts. I became part of the women who read, marched, spoke, wrote, and followed Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem . I marched, spoke, wrote, picketed and committed civil disobedience with Sonia Johnson and all those gallant women who put society first, themselves last. I worked with Gina Allen , founder of the Feminist Caucus of the American Humanist Association who saw the inequality even within freethought organizations. I held innumerable titles and performed many feminist, freethought activities during those turbulent years of the 70's and early 80's.
