Today’s organizers are savvy Twitter, Facebook and Instagram users. A century ago, female activists excelled at using the latest communications technologies of their day – radio broadcasts, telephones and glossy magazines.

Women’s March activists say they’re more focused on engaging women, communities of color, and new voters in the lead-up to the 2018 midterm elections. And just as each woman has her own reason for standing up—“The spark is usually a woman’s outrage,” says Bland—each locality has its own issues to champion.

Millions of women and men around the world have taken part in the #MeToo movement, sharing their experiences of sexual harassment in an attempt to show the magnitude of the problem.

European anti-fascism movements have historically gotten a spotlight, but women from Latin America also have a strong history of resistance in the face of injustice and inequality, fighting back by joining resistance groups, writing, and spying, among other efforts.

In the early 20th century, women’s roles were largely limited to the domestic sphere, but around the turn of the century, women all over the nation had started pushing at those boundaries by forming tight-knit special interest social groups, which is how the Humboldt County Federation of Women’s Clubs came about in 1909.

With little faith in the state’s ability to protect them, Argentine women have been fighting back. In the last month, all eyes have been on the #MeToo movement, which was born 10 years ago, but went viral following the Harvey Weinstein scandal. But in Argentina, there is #NiUnaMenos, a grassroots movement launched by women that brought hundreds of thousands out to protest in cities across the country.
