Reading through Susan Barber’s 100 Years towards Suffrage: An overview, made me think about last week during our content on activism when our first reading opened with a statement expressing that every liberty and right that exists today is a result of someone who stood up and fought for it at one point in history. To think back to when men were given the opportunity to vote in 1870 yet how Jim Crow laws still prohibited Black men from exercising their right and how women such as Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth entered voting sites demanding ballots really put these sacrifices into perspective as it is a right granted to us all now but not too long ago, a hurdle in the way of the Black community and women everywhere. I learned about Ida B Wells’s continuous perseverance as an African American investigative journalist in the civil rights movement and how she essentially became prominently known for her activism for the advancement of the black community especially women. Reading about the feminist waves once again brought up the intersectionality within the many different characteristics and definitions of feminism that are in place for the term. Claire Goldburg Moses’ What’s in a name?: On Writing the History of Feminism addresses how the movement’s definition has evolved, intertwined and separated those essentially fighting for similar if not the same causes throughout the decades. She asks if naming the movement is more important than its goals of protecting and serving the oppressed.
