Feminists fighting to change the world
In 1902, Winifred Harper Cooley imagined a 21st century without sweatshops or slums. Cooley was a US feminist, once described as a radiant woman “in flowing, graceful robes”, and in this new world, she explained, no one would be tramping the streets without a home, or be unemployed. The world’s labour would be shared so that each person only worked five hours a day. Society would be fair, just and equal.(Via moreapologies)
I like how this is in the “Life & Style” section of The Guardian. Burying the lead in the women’s section, since forever.
Also, re: the quote, LOL.
