@womensmarchgbal We are delighted to support both equality and bodily autonomy and to have participated in the grassroots movement with so many other great organizations!

Congratulations to the Women of Northern Ireland, where bodily autonomy is now legal, and where our LGBTQ friends finally have Equality in Marriage!!

This thread. 👏 worth a read for all the unsung women inventors kept on the sidelines. #Herstory

Things women have invented

In 1868, cotton mill worker Margaret Knight invented a machine make paper bags with a flat square bottom

A man named Charles Annan saw her design and tried to patent the idea first.

Knight filed a lawsuit and won the patent fair and square in 1871

Thread of the morning. This little girl wants to drive fire trucks when she grows up but felt discouraged since women don't drive fire trucks. Mom asked on twitter for proof to show her daughter and well... the Women of Emergency Services stepped up!

Hey twitter.

Request from Molly age 4.
When she grows up she wants to drive a fire truck but she said she has never seen a lady drive a fire truck before.

Can you help me out with all you fabulous female firefighters?

Incredible photo of 17 yr old #OlgaMisik in bulletproof vest reading the Russian constitution to riot police during a demo calling for free elections. Here's to Olga, Greta, Malala & the many young women who are inspiring change through their courage.

The administration's ban on transgender servicemembers begins today. It is abhorrent. Every American should be able to serve their country, and I can't believe we're still debating that in 2019. We have to reverse this as soon as we can.

The #EHTBlackHole has been all over the news today. Did you know that Dr.Kate Bouman was behind it? Most media we have seen have omitted the #WomenInSTEM who are taking us to new horizons! 💪 Congrats to Dr.Bouman and all the scientists and maths experts on this breakthrough!

This should be outlawed everywhere. This gendered violence against women and girls is unacceptable.
