Red Stockings

The Red Stockings refers to a women's rights organization founded in the United States in 1969, during the second wave of feminism. It aimed to advocate for women's equality, focusing on issues such as reproductive rights, workplace discrimination, and social justice. The name symbolizes a defiance against traditional gender roles, with "red" representing passion and activism. Members often wore red stockings at protests to express their commitment to the cause. The Red Stockings played a significant role in raising awareness and promoting legislative changes that benefited women's rights in the late 20th century.
