Feminism at the Heart of Democracy: Dr. C. Nicole Mason
November 14th, 2024
”There's a direct line between feminism and democracy.”
We discuss the intersection of feminism and democracy and discover how the egalitarian underpinnings of feminism are fundamental to an equal society. Abortion bans illustrate this well. “Any time there's a conflict between the Constitution and someone's personal bodily autonomy and the subject of rights under the law, that is anti-democratic.”
Dr. C. Nicole Mason is the founder and president of Future Forward Women, a project at the New York Women’s Foundation.
