Major Actions

• Co-founded Ms. magazine and multiple women's organizations while helping make reproductive freedom, workplace equality, and political representation national issues.
• Expanded the public record around women's rights and movement media.

Controversies

• Mainstream feminism's historic limits on race, class, sexuality, and disability remain necessary context for evaluating her movement role.
• Eracii separates documented impact from sainthood: movements are collective, internally debated, and larger than any one card.

Card Notes

• Ratings are bounded Eracii mechanics, not objective measures of courage, suffering, or moral worth.
• Core arena read: women's rights and movement media.
• The Rights Era treats liberation as collective work; each portrait represents a wider movement, not a lone-hero substitute for it.
