They advocated for civil rights, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, and religious freedom, making them a trailblazer for social justice causes. 2. They were the first African American women to be ordained as an Episcopal priest. 3. Ruth Bader Ginsburg named them as a co-author of the ACLU brief in the landmark 1971 Supreme Court case Reed v. Reed in recognition of their work on gender discrimination. 4. They coined the term “Jane Crow” to refer to the parallel system of discrimination and oppression experienced by women, particularly women of color, alongside the Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation. 5.
