If Gerda Lerner were alive today, I think she’d use TikTok to educate its millions of users about women’s history.

Recently, I’ve found hope in the work of a Jewish feminist icon whose pro-choice activism is awe-inspiring: Heather Booth.

After reading Stone Butch Blues, I feel like I finally have a history and a sense of memory as a queer Jew.

Noa and her sisters pushed for something which, at the time, wasn’t recognized as an inherent right. Today, we need to do the same with broadband internet access.

On Shabbat, our Mexican American neighbors informed our largely Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of the results: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had won. 

I have come to understand that no sect is a monolith.

Daniella Levine Cava, to whom I affectionately refer as “DLC,” made history during this election cycle.

Just as Mattel has expanded Barbie dolls to represent broader diversity, we as a society need to continue working towards equality and representation. Kamala Harris's election is a step in that direction.

I identified with Blu Greenberg’s stance, as I read it: even if I wouldn’t have an abortion myself, it’s still a valid decision for other women to make.

Mollie Steimer dedicated her life to advocating for prisoners. Though we’ll likely never fully live up to her anarchist ideals, we can fight for radical solutions.

Electing a candidate who advocates for reproductive rights for all is just as essential as ensuring women are represented in government.

In order to live up to a name like Judith, we must face our own Holoferneses head on.

On the day of my bat mitzvah, I started to confront my internalized antisemitism and sexism.

My experiences with women’s Orthodox spaces showcase how we can work for an equal Orthodoxy.

I discovered Micah Bazant’s “TimTum: A Trans Jew Zine” in early high school, at a critical juncture (read: identity crisis).

My Doc Martens are so much more than just shoes.

“Are you going to read Torah? We think that’s a boy’s mitzvah.”

My Magen David necklace has transformed from a simple silver chain into an extension of my identity.

My hair doesn’t only destroy hair ties; it also destroys insecurities about my Jewishness and femininity.

My Bubbe’s Lion of Judah pin is a reminder for me of my grandmother: a strong, feminist leader.

One day, I hope to walk into an egalitarian Jewish space with my tallit on my shoulders and my kippah on my head.

Judith Plaskow said, “I am not a Jew in the synagogue and a feminist in the world."

There aren't outside pressures from patriarchy in the all-girls camp bubble; but that doesn't mean that bigotry is eradicated.

I’ve learned the value of endurance in activism through my experience with Talmud learning.

At camp, every song had a different tune, and for every prayer I knew, there were four more I didn’t.
