So far this week, we have focused on how mothers become activists, particularly surrounding gun violence. But mothers throughout history have been, and are, advocates for a wide variety of subjects.

Assignment: Today, we want you to share a story about a woman you know who has entered into activism through her identity as a mother. It could be a historical figure – or it could be you. Tell us about her and her work in the comments.
