My grandmother was a Suffragette. Are you talking about unionizers Karen Silkwood?

Yes, as a white woman, I have incredible leeway; but all of us come to that wall and have to decide how to get through/over/under to the other side. Only by remembering that we are all sisters under the skin, will we be able to reach full equality for ALL sentient beings.

The war has been going on such a long time and is played out on the political stage all over the world. Look at the Greek Hero Myths and know that was one of early battle fronts that has enslaved women for thousands of years.
