25. WOMEN AND THE LGBTQ+ MOVEMENT

Since the Stonewall riot, the LGBTQ+ movement has fought to dismantle gender and sexual norms. Although not always embraced by feminists, the LGBTQ+ movement gradually worked to dismantle the patriarchy through modern US history. In 2013, Edith Windsor sued the US because she was taxed upon inheriting her deceased wife’s estate. Although legal, LGBTQ+ rights and humanity remain threatened by the far right.

24. THE FEMINIST ERA

Following the Civil Rights Movement, women were inspired to fight for equality and opportunity in society. As a result, many social movements arose in different communities which combatted sexism and sparked the rise of the women's liberation movement.  Find the bibliography, transcript, and learning materials that support this episode at: https://www.remedialherstory.com/24-the-feminist-era.html#/ [https://www.remedialherstory.com/4-american-revolution.html#/] Support this work at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.remedialherstory.com/giving.html#/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.remedialherstory.com/giving.html#/] Shop the RHP Store at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.remedialherstory.com/store⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.remedialherstory.com/store]  Host: Rachel Perez Editor: Tyler Cardwell Producer: Haley Brook Contributing Authors: Kelsie Brook Eckert, Dr. Barbara Tischler, Dr. Alicia Gutierrez-Romine, Dr. DeAnna Beachley, Jacqui Nelson, Mary Bezbatchenko, Dr. Victoria Plutshack, and Nye Adamkowski.

23. REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM

Reproductive Freedom, or the rights to control your reproduction, came under attack by laws in the late 19th century. As soon as women gained political freedoms, they began attacking these restrictions in the 20th century, with advocacy efforts peaking in the 1960s. Rights to privacy, rights to contraception (birth control), and rights to abortion were all focal points for women and their allies. Trigger warning: this section discusses rape and abortion.

22. WOMEN AND THE COLD WAR

Women were pivotal in many aspects throughout the Cold War. They were soldiers, pilots, code breakers, nurses, and more. They supported the Cold War either on the front lines or from home. Of course not every woman supported war; in the Vietnam war many found themselves sympathetic with the Vietnamese women. Towards the end of the Cold War women found their social positions constantly changing, but sexism routinely held them back.  Find the bibliography, transcript, and learning materials that support this episode at: https://www.remedialherstory.com/22-women-and-the-cold-war.html#/ [https://www.remedialherstory.com/4-american-revolution.html#/] Support this work at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.remedialherstory.com/giving.html#/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.remedialherstory.com/giving.html#/] Shop the RHP Store at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.remedialherstory.com/store⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.remedialherstory.com/store]  Host: Rachel Perez Editor: Tyler Cardwell Producer: Haley Brook Contributing Authors: Kelsie Brook Eckert, Dr. Barbara Tischler, Dr. Alicia Gutierrez-Romine, Dr. DeAnna Beachley, Jacqui Nelson, Mary Bezbatchenko, Dr. Victoria Plutshack, and Nye Adamkowski.
