Women Funded 2021: The Feminist Factor

As we face the layered challenges of racism, sexism, health disparities and a global pandemic, climate change, institutional violence, and autocratic threats to democracy, it is ever more essential that we grapple with both our painful and joyous feminist movement history. Feminism, rooted in our interconnected liberation, is our strength and our challenge.

This year’s theme, The Feminist Factor, is an opportunity to have a new and expansive conversation about the critical frameworks that guide, and distinguish, much of our collective work, now and into the future. Join us.

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
— Jamia Wilson, Author, This Book is Feminist —
“The Feminist Factor is an opportunity to have a new and expansive conversation about the critical frameworks that guide, and distinguish, much of our collective work now and into the future. Feminism, rooted in our interconnected liberation, is our strength and our challenge.”
— Elizabeth Barajas-Román, CEO, Women's Funding Network —
“The Feminist Factor, to me, is about respecting, valuing, and celebrating, all that we are as women. And lifting up our sisters – those who are doing amazing things, and those who will do amazing things.”
— Gina Jackson, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Return to the Heart Foundation —
“Feminism, to me, means creating opportunities for everyone to thrive, not just survive. It is about equity. It is about making sure that everyone has the opportunity to live the type of life that they would like to live.”
— Kelly Nevins, Chief Executive Officer, Women's Fund of Rhode Island —
