Gloria Steinem Instagram – In 1913, Senator Atlee Pomerene sent this letter to my grandmother, Pauline Perlmutter Steinem, who had written to him reporting about inadequate police protection at a suffrage march. It is a reminder of the violence suffragists often faced, but also for me, it is a reminder of the stories we aren’t told about women, even in our own families.
This week on Substack, I’m sharing discoveries of my own family history that taught me about women’s history and the politics of all history. You can find them at the link in my bio.
