We have many people from both sides of the abortion debate who consider themselves a feminist. I wonder which group knows more about Womens’ history?
I have a short Pop Quiz for us all to take to find out.

Now, I’m sure most of these can be found on a google search so we are going to go by the honor system. We will trust that there will be no cheating.
(these are not necessarily 1st American women to . . . )
1. Who was the first woman U.S. presidential candidate?
2. Who were the the co-founders of the womans suffrage movement?
3 . Who was the first person to be a U.S. flagmaker?


4. Who was the first woman to receive a medical degree?
5. Who was the first woman marine?
6. Who was the first woman whose invention received a patent (which was granted to her husband)?
7. Who was the first woman foreign diplomat?
8. Who was the first African American to win an academy award?
9. Who was the first woman justice to be on the U.S. Supreme Court?
10. Who was the first person to conduct a national survey of sexual attitudes?
Good Luck!
I think in todays world we have to remember where we came from and that pro-choice and pro-life has nothing to do with feminism. All these accomplishments are examples of true feminists.
Bonus Question: Which feminist went to jail for voting?
