What the Constitution Means to Me and Women’s Generational Trauma

What the Constitution Means to Me continues to have a hold on me because I think it is an excellent reminder that we still need feminism, and not the individualistic feminism that saturates popular media today that has been adopted as a way for brands to market products to women under the guise of “self-empowerment.”

Male violence is an omnipresent threat. Our access to reproductive health care is insecure. These are not obsolete concerns of previous generations. The gendered trauma our mothers experienced is ours today.
