The Radical Club's Perspective on Feminism and Social Issues
This chapter of the podcast episode discusses the articles written by members of a secret club for radical New York women. The women in the club were involved in the suffrage fight in the 1910s, but they were careful to emphasize that the vote was a tool for further political and social change. The dominant definition of feminism in the club was influenced by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who believed in the fundamental equality of men and women and their right to develop their human potential.
