Stacey Abrams, Meena Harris, and Other Activists on How to Fight For Women

"After I was raped, I put my dreams of becoming an astronaut on hold to rewrite the law in the United States Congress and the United Nations with my organization Rise. Now after passing 91 laws, I'm honoring the girl I was before I was hurt to return to the stars as an astronaut. My advice to all women is to choose yourself, to pursue your dreams — you can be multitudes. Honoring your past, present, and future selves is an act of radical resistance. The torch you carry through those darkest moments lights the path for those that follow. This International Women's Day, I ask that anyone reading this finds their spark to make both the 5-year-old you, and the 85-year-old you, proud."
