The start of our movement was defined by people’s experiences as women – yet there was not a lot of focus on motherhood then. Today, politics for many women have become defined by and informed by their motherhood experiences differently. Many more women have found political inspiration in their motherhood, yet there still seems to be a divide between those who want to be part of feminist efforts, i.e. is that a legitimate way to approach politics? How do women who define their politics by their motherhood keep from becoming pigeon-holed as "mommy" activists? And most importantly, how can we come together, forget about the "waves" and have the moms who are storming the internet with feminist activism work with those who blazed the path?
