With the 2020 election looming, concerns from reproductive rights to the wage gap to the maternal mortality rate are in the news — and it's clear that we need feminism as much as we ever did. Today, 38 percent of American women consider themselves feminists — 6 percent more than did in 2016 — and that number is slowly but steadily increasing . Odds are, you either embrace feminism yourself , or you have at least one friend who does. Sure, being a feminist is about a lot more than cute accessories — but wearing a "Future Is Feminist" bangle or carrying an Audre Lorde tote is a way to quietly let people know where you stand politically. Wearing a feminist icon’s name on a T-shirt can even be a conversation starter, giving the wearer an opportunity to share a little information with people in a playful and non-confrontational way.
