Me, my mom, and another baby, circa 1980

Whenever I teach feminist communication and history, I can’t help but introduce the second-wave of feminism with this photograph from some time in 1980 or so (mostly because I love the shag carpet and my mom’s glasses and flip-flops). I call it, “Me, My Mom, and Another Baby,” and I’m pretty sure it captures us deep in conversation about the Equal Rights Amendment (that other baby is against it, which is why I’m side-eyeing her).
