The women who truly changed America didn’t look anything like Gloria Steinem or Betty Friedan. Host Teri Christoph takes a closer look at these true feminists in her series “The Real Feminists.” Today’s episode explores the life of Ida B. Wells, a conservative black journalist during and after Reconstruction who bravely spoke out against lynching. Oh, and she was the original Rosa Parks.
