About this listen
Do you feel safe in a system that wasn't designed for you? When women are an afterthought in political structures, what does that mean for your rights today?
As Tracy digs into the history of women in American politics, she uncovers uncomfortable truths about how women have been systematically excluded from foundational documents and political parties. Comfort in this system is an illusion—one that could evaporate faster than you think.
In this episode, Tracy explores:
- Women as property for thousands of years and our absence from the Constitution
- Pioneering female politicians who fought against exclusion
- Why women's rights remain vulnerable without Constitutional protection
- Current threats to female representation and voting rights
- How women leaders can increase political participation
"Wherever you're not speaking out, you feel protected. Wherever you feel that if you take a step in a different direction, that's too scary, that's where you feel protected. But you're not really protected. You aren't because you're not in the Constitution." ~ Tracy Crossley
