In 1868, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony started The Revolution, a newspaper dedicated to obtaining equal rights for women. At the time, women in America had no right to own property, their own inheritance, or even custody of their own children—not to mention no right to vote on amending these laws.
While those struggles unfolded long ago on the national stage, the story of change continues. Societal advancement often shows up not only in legislation or movements, but in the all the ways we decide to grow and adapt over time. Open forums and cooperation will go far in determining how we navigate the challenges ahead.
This fourth edition of Rockridge Voice continues to provide a forum for expression and to showcase the voices of those around us who have a story to share.
