I am grateful to movement scholars and activists Joyce Berkman, Jasmine Burnett, Cynthia Greenlee and Loretta Ross for critiquing early drafts, and to Peter Engelman, editor of the Margaret Sanger Papers, for sharing his vast knowledge of archival sources. Without Miriam Neptune\u2019s determination and Joe Bacal\u2019s skills, the digital version that embeds full length primary documents would not be a reality, and Ginetta E. B. Candelario, Leslie Marie Aguilar and the editorial team of <em>Meridians<\/em> have gone the extra mile to ensure that these resources are accessible to current organizers who continue to build on the activism of foremothers recalled here. Finally, I am indebted to Gloria Steinem for the hope and hard work she has invested in our efforts to\u00a0bridge the worlds of academia and activism, and to the generous funders of the Steinem Initiative who made it possible to undertake this and other experiments in developing women\u2019s history as an organizing tool for movement building today.
