A few years ago Trump came to power and women everywhere joined the resistance. It was a movement of pink hats, hashtags, and marches that we thought could change the world, or at the least, curb the misogyny, prejudice, and bigotry sweeping the United States. But heading in to the next election year (in the midst of an impeachment), we find ourselves world weary, bitter, and tired of living in a constant state of outrage that seems to go nowhere. But this holiday season is the perfect chance to revitalize our persistence, find our fight, and not let the bastards get us down. So here’s a fun gift guide for the feminists, for the resistance, for the future female presidents, and the women who never stop trying to make a difference.
