I'd like to add more background to
Ruth Hale (feminist), who is a little-known champion of women's rights. And a decent photo would be nice too. Any help appreciated! --

Anachronism
Is it an anachronism to call Ruth Hale a feminist?? How would she have referred to herself? I don't think it's accurate to use the word feminist as a simple synonym for women's rights advocate.

What one word do you suggest to replace, if "feminist" does not work any longer? We are talking the era of the 1920s, remember. --

That's just the problem — feminism is a collection of specific intellectual and political movements that rose up in the 1970's, if I recall correctly; it's not a general term for "women's rights advocacy". Maybe "women's rights advocate" or something simply "rights advocate" would work.

I did rewrite the beginning of this article. However, if you follow
women's rights, it takes readers to
feminism. Is this what you want? I am not up on the terminology currently in vogue for them. --

Thanks — I like your rewrite, and hopefully, we can do something about the redirect later. I'd also be happy to see the title changed to Ruth Hale (women's rights advocate) or something similar, but we'll need to hear what other people think before doing a move.
