Hi. So when i think about empowered women, i also am curious about their relationship to their fathers growing up. So you talked a little wit a little bit about their childhood, so im curious to know what was the relationship with each woman with her father. Certainly for Elizabeth Gurley flynn, her father, tom none, was a very flynn, was a very important figure in her life. And she he was a very strong socialist, and actually the whole family converted to socialism in 1902. And in that way i think he really influenced Elizabeth Gurley flynn, and he supported her. I mean when she was just, you know, 15 or 16 he would kind of travel around with her around new york city where she would speak and to the places like philadelphia or new jersey.

Given everything that she had read, that appeared to be the story worth telling. With all great parables, there is an underlying message in that story. That underlying message is that there are these stories that we hear over and over and over again. We hear them so much, that they go by without interrogation. Without question. And they begin to frame our worldview. They begin to frame the way we see the world. So for instance, she says, africa is poor. Immigrants are mexicans. And legal. The poor and illegal. The poor do not work. When you begin to interrogate those stories, you had a very different understanding of how the world works. I also grew up with the same story. It was the story told over and over again. About what authentic black leadership looked like. What is said, how it said it and it was of course, militants. Defiant. And it had swagger.
