For the feminist in your life
The Future is Female 2021 Calendar

The Future is Female Calendar celebrates the voices of courageous and trailblazing women. Each month features a quote from a feminist icon that will embolden spirits and inspire activism, with vibrant, dynamic art enhancing powerful words. Hear from Roxane Gay: “When you can’t find someone to follow, you have to find a way to lead by example.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “They’ll tell you you’re too loud, that you need to wait your turn; and ask the right people for permission. Do it anyway.” And transgender model Aaron Philip: “Just show up, do your best, and don’t compromise for anyone or anything.” A portion of the calendar’s proceeds are donated to Girls Write Now.
