, drawing on this week’s reading, listening and watching, summarize your thoughts about women’s history, historical change, and your thoughts on the status of women’s rights, and women’s collective action in the 2020s. What needs changing? What lessons from the past might women (and men) address today with regard to women’s status in American society? If you made a list of concerns, wishes, or activism strategies or lessons, what would you list? In your answer you should draw on earlier course readings or videos/lectures and/or this week’s. Although this is a ‘think and reflect’ discussion, historical conversations reference examples, evidence, and readings, and use summary, paraphrasing, and quotation to support the points, including when responding to others’ posts. They provide citation.
