During 2nd wave feminism, a rising evangelical Christian feminist movement, led by both conservatives & progressives, unnerved networks of evangelicals who joined to create a sweeping backlash. They planted the seeds for the advance of evangelical patriarchy we see today.

Remember the first wave Christian feminists. They were faithful and passionate taking a stand for women's biblical equality, prison reform, ending slavery, trafficking of girls and more. Get inspiration from their courage and challenging work in the face of oppression and injustice.
