  "textContent": "March’s Women’s History Month arrives at a moment when our rights, and democracy itself, feel newly precarious.\n\nFrom feminist perspectives on the war in Iran, where women and girls remain at the forefront of resistance, to the troubling parallels between authoritarian crackdowns abroad and the rollback of reproductive rights here in the United States, the throughline is hard to ignore: Democracy rises and falls with women’s movements and mobilization.\n\nTaking stock of the moment, I’m highlighting reporting and analysis that help make sense of where we are now—from the criminalization of pregnancy outcomes in places like El Salvador, to new data revealing stark disparities in women’s well-being across U.S. states.\n\nAt the same time, as the country approaches its 250th anniversary, initiatives like **_Ms.’_ FEMINIST 250: Founding Feminists** remind us that women’s ideas, resistance and organizing have always been central to the project of democracy—and remain essential to its future.\n\nThe post A State of the State for Women: Taking Stock of the Fight for Democracy at Home and Abroad appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
