ABSTRACT
Throughout millennia, women have united out of necessity and have formed the only movements today dedicated to and proven successful at undoing patriarchy’s self-serving systems and suppressing paradigms. Dismantling patriarchy and all of its forms and techniques including misogyny, white supremacy, other race-based supremacies, heteronormativity, imperialism, autocracy, and colonialism around the globe is how women are collectively achieving transformational social, gender, racial and economic justice. Chapter one traces the frontlines of feminism’s modern-day battles against patriarchy and the role the Women’s Funding Movement has served for the last half-century in fortifying women-led movements and producing a “Women Effect” that is critical to the future of humanity.
