The third installment of FEMINIST 250, Democracy’s Feminist Future, taps the thought leaders of today to debut game-changing ideas-the next generation of policy proposals that will catalyze a better future. Their collective wisdom points to how to secure political and social equality, ensure economic justice, codify equality under the law and finally achieve “a more perfect union” for all.
FEMINIST 250 is an online initiative from Ms. reflecting on the semiquincentennial of U.S. democracy from a feminist perspective, launched during Women’s History Month, with a commemorative section in the Summer 2026 print issue. The series explores how feminist histories laid the foundations that shaped 250 years of ideas about equality; unpacks Ms. magazine’s own reporting over the decades; and puts forth the next generation of policy proposals to help ensure equality and justice for all.
The FEMINIST 250 Project is made possible by generous support from Susan Byrd and the Women Moving Millions Art Catalyst Matching Fund.
