Feminism
Women around the world today enjoy incredible levels of rights and freedoms, thanks in great part to countless Jewish women who sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears in a relentless struggle to make the world a better place for women.
From writing the most iconic feminist books, to organizing the most effective feminist organizations, Jews have had such a significant impact on feminism that it can hardly ever be repaid.
Of course, the job is far from done. Jewish women will undoubtedly continue to be at the forefront of this ongoing fight.
