Through a variety of methodological analyses, it engages three case studies to answer (1) How does pro-life feminism persist as a movement and idea? And (2) What does the existence of pro-life feminists mean for the discursive boundaries of pro-choice feminism? This project included archival research on major feminist, anti-feminist, and pro-life feminist organizations, as well as long-form interviews with founding members of the pro-life feminist organizations.

  • Who Made the Women's March?
    3 Who Made the Women’s March? Marie Berry and Erica Chenoweth Introduction: The Women’s March in Context In part because of women’s historical marginalization in institutionalized poli- tics, women’s activism and organizing have often happened in the streets, outside of formal political spaces (Ferree 2006; King and Codur 2015; Molyneux 1998; Principe 2017). Women have featured prominently in movements mobilized around broader issues, including civil rights, labor rights, prison reform, land re- form, peace, security, community safety, and food security. For instance, in 1905, Russian women organized marches against the price of bread, which launched the first Russian Revolution. In the decades since, women have marched on Pretoria during Apartheid in South Africa, against the disappearance of loved ones in La Plaza de Mayo during the “Dirty War” in Argentina, and, most re- cently, to insist resolutely that Black Lives Matter and to defend indigenous land and resources in Standing Rock. Beyond their participation in broader movements for social change, women have also mobilized around claims spe- cifically related to women’s rights, such as women’s suffrage, reproductive rights, campaigns against women’s sexual exploitation, and campaigns against female genital mutilation (King and Codur 2015; Principe 2017: 4). From the aboli- tionist movementO to the U labor movement P - that Upreceded S the suffragistA parades in the United States and Britain in the early 20th century, to recent mass protests in Poland against abortion restrictions, such women-led and women-centered movements have been instrumental in advancing human rights and women’s rights in particular.

In each respective country, there was one main grassroots coalition that channeled public outrage into a coherent display of protest. As the initial passion from the catalyst events diminished, these coalitions did not fade away. Instead, they grew into their nation's face of women’s advocacy. Given the comparable set of circumstances in Spain and the U.S., I identify how two temporary, newborn coalitions were able to capitalize on a burst of fame and develop into leading organizations. This paper examines the role of the latest grassroots mobilization tactics in gender-based protests and how they translate to the qualities of a successful social movement. I show that a combination of inclusive framing, coalition building, social media use, and decentralized structure are utilized by both Women’s March and Comisión 8M and explain the rapid ascent to national prominence and the power to move millions of people.
