Dear AU Supporter,

In honor of Women’s History Month, we are uplifting some of the women who have championed religious freedom and church-state separation in our country. Too often the conversation about church-state separation heroes focuses on America’s founding fathers – predominantly white men with complicated legacies.

Take our quiz to find out how well you know some of the women who fought for freedom without favor and equality without exception.

Religious extremists and their political allies are trying to censor American history in our public schools and minimize the contributions and struggles of underrepresented groups, even as they campaign in the courts and state legislatures to strip away rights like abortion access and reproductive freedom. 

That’s why it’s more important than ever that we know and share our history – ALL of our history – and celebrate the contributions of women to advance religious freedom and church-state separation. 

Write on,

Liz Hayes
Associate Vice President of Communications
