Recommendation
When autocrats strategize to suppress free societies, women suffer. Suffragism for women is 100 years old, and yet they have to keep fighting for equality, even in democracies. As Erica Chenoweth and Zoe Marks report for Foreign Affairs, authoritarian movements worldwide are threatening many of women’s hard-won advances. For progress in women’s rights to continue, women must be on the front lines, pursuing diversified tactics and providing power in numbers while moderating conflicts and coercing opponents to defect. A multinational coalition to combat regressive policies would enshrine diversity, inclusivity and equal rights for women and for all people.
