This month’s article is the refreshing and motivating story of the Daughters of Bilitis, the first lesbian rights group in the United States.

Activism, EducationalFor as long as I can remember, the female body has always been an ‘inappropriate’ topic. Caregivers fail to teach children the anatomically correct names for their body parts- initiating the misunderstanding of their bodies before they’re old enough to read. As a result, females- and those with female reproductive systems- have considerably less access
