In the wake of a more violent Trump administration, we honor Virginia Whitehill to be this week's woman of the week. Whitehill dedicated her life to securing women's rights, advocating for reproductive freedom, and fighting for gender equality. From her role in helping fight for Roe v. Wade to co-founding the Dallas Women’s Coalition, her legacy is a reminder that the work for women's rights is ongoing and her statement is a wake up call for us to take actions, stand up and never let our guards down in the fight for justice. #herkitaab #womenoftheweek #virginiawhitehill #reproductiverights

Audre Lorde (1934–1992)?was a renowned Black feminist, poet, and civil rights activist. Born in New York City to Caribbean immigrant parents, she described herself as a "Black lesbian, mother, warrior, poet." Lorde's work often explored identity, intersectionality, oppression, and resilience, using her voice to challenge racism, sexism, homophobia, and classism. Her influential writings include collections like?The Black Unicorn?and?Sister Outsider, blending poetry and prose to highlight the struggles and power of marginalized communities. Lorde's activism extended beyond her words; she co-founded the Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press and served as a prominent advocate for Black women's rights and LGBTQ+ equality. Her legacy continues to inspire movements for justice and equality worldwide. This quote by?Audre Lorde?speaks to the transformative power of courage and action. It suggests that when women channel their strength and focus it toward their goals or vision, the fear that might initially hold them back diminishes in importance. Fear becomes secondary to the drive to make an impact or achieve something meaningful. It's a reminder that courage isn't the absence of fear but the decision to act despite it, fueled by purpose and vision. #HerKitaab #AudreLorde #WomensRights #Courage
