After the Uvalde shooting and the new abortion law that passed, I needed to gather my thoughts and rearrange how I wanted to move forward with the following episodes. So after a couple of months off, I'm back with more education on how history repeats itself, and I'm picking up where I left off.

[2:30] My focus for this podcast is to highlight that women have demanded to be treated as full citizens and human beings in the United States when this country was founded.

[6:18] 1850s Rich, White patriarchy decides that women aren't included in the constitution or the preamble.

[7:54] What are women advocating for? Equal citizenship!

[14:40] My uterus and your uterus, Why are we treated this way.

[24:42] Lucy Stone rewrites the marriage contract.

[25:58] Historians credit Storer for leading the Physicians’ Crusade Against Abortion, which they consider primarily responsible for increased laws criminalizing abortion in the late 1800s.

[28:06] Samuel Alito denies that abortion was once legal based on his opinion on "quickening."

[30:39] Obstetrics were carried out by midwives and other women.

[40:08] Contraception

So many of the arguments that the American feminists made in the 19th century are still relevant today. Here’s a timeline of some of the historical events mentioned in episode seven:

1776 - The Declaration of Independence was adopted and the Preamble are established and it's stated that the rights are based on natural law.

1789 - This is the year that the constitution was formally adopted and the 13 colonies become the United States. Citizens of the Republic have rights, but it only applies to middle-class white men and above and citizens. Women saw the United States as a country in which they were citizens and they had the same rights according to natural law!

1792 - The book by Mary Wollstonecraft:

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is considered the first modern feminist treatise, by most Women’s History professors.

1803 Louisiana purchase

1830 Troy Female Seminary

1833 Oberlin College admits women and women/men of color

1837 Mary Lion founds Mount Holyoke, women’s first college

[36:00 Grimke Sisters]

The early Christian church on Eve, The Virgin Mary, and Mary Magdeline.

“I'm using the Bible and the biblical stories that were used by men during the first several hundred years of the church's existence to establish a specific identity for women. And it's an identity that's lesser, and it's an identity that requires male control.”

By the way, are you familiar with Adam’s first wife? Tune in to this episode to listen to what was left out, how stories were twisted to make women “lesser” in Western society.

"Aristotle is from the fourth century BCE. And, he focuses on defining women as inferior because of their biology. And thus, that inferiority makes her a lesser human and far less able to contribute anything to society.

And the reason why I titled the episode after him is because of how influential he was on subsequent scientists and philosophers, great Roman physician, Galen, whether it's medieval physicians, you see so much of what he said, repeated almost verbatim. His influence goes far in one."
