Happy Halloween...well, almost! Kaitlyn and Taylor have dressed up for this episode in a woman they want to discuss. The episode will be split in two parts so that they can cover each woman. First, Taylor will discuss Mabel Vernon. Then Kaitlyn will cover Florence Nightingale. Trick or Treat!

Have you seen Mrs. America? If you have, you likely have some knowledge of Phyllis Schlafly. While she may not be the first person to come to mind when you hear feminism, she was, by definition, a feminist. Kaitlyn and Taylor may have their own views on politics, but they wanted to make sure to honor all women who have entered the political arena. As such, the duo will be having a candid conversation about Phyllis Schlafly. She was a conservative author. She held conservative social and political views, opposed feminism and abortion, and successfully campaigned against ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

This month, America lost an icon. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg served on the Supreme Court for 27 years. There was a reason she earned the title “Notorious RBG.” She was a huge inspiration to Kaitlyn and Taylor and, while they are saddened by her passing, they are so honored to bring you an episode chronicling Justice Ginsberg's long list of accolades and “firsts.”

The duo will also be discussing the importance of National Voter Registration Day and the League's involvement. Don't forget to register to vote!

On this week's episode of Wednesday's Women, join Kaitlyn and Taylor for a candid conversation about Alice Paul. Paul was an active suffragette and is one of the first people to propose an equal rights amendment amendment be added to the constitution. In 1912, Paul and friends organized a women's march to coincide with Woodrow Wilson's inauguration. When that event commenced the following March, Paul and her suffragists were so prominent that male onlookers insulted and assaulted the women marchers as the police looked on. We will also discuss the mistreatment Paul endured while imprisoned and how it likely led to Wilson endorsing Women's Suffrage!
