Personal Details

Bio

April Young Bennett is a feminist activist, author and motivational speaker with expertise in women's history, intersectional feminism and women's empowerment. She is author of Ask a Suffragist: Stories and Wisdom from America's First Feminists and host of the Religious Feminism Podcast. She has campaigned for better state and federal laws addressing the wage gap, healthcare, education and juvenile justice; and for gender equity within her modern-day patriarchal religious community, leading hundreds of people in marches that attracted national attention. Her message is timely during the Me Too movement and the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave (most) women the right to vote.
