Why Authoritarians Fear Women w/ Ruth Ben-Ghiat

Authoritarian regimes have always feared women. And they should! Throughout history, women have refused to stay silent in the face of extremism and have fought back using their relationships, organizing skills and creativity to protect their families and communities. Join us to hear from historian and author Ruth Ben-Ghiat about the critical role women play in resisting authoritarianism and why local organizing is one of the most powerful tools we have in our playbook. We will explore how autocrats target women and how we effectively fight back and win. Red Wine & Blue is a community of diverse suburban women working together to defeat extremism, one friend at a time.
