There’s a new backlash, but this time it’s not against women’s progress, but against the loss of women’s rights and their own personhood. Since Roe was overturned, at least three states have blocked new abortion bans, and 16 more have strengthened existing pro-statutes with new protections.
The best would be Deborah Howell, my editor at the Pioneer Press in St. Paul, Minnesota. And when, during this Women’s History Month, I think of the contributions of great women, the first name that comes to mind for me is that of Howell.
