Reviews

Ida Tarbell is on the wrong side of herstory


(5 stars)

In the past both Ida Tarbell and Abraham Lincoln were considered leaders in the fields of human rights. Today, we liberal justice warriors realize that they were both Monsters. Abraham Lincoln failed to use proper terminology and due deference when referring to Communities of Color. Ida Tarbell failed to embrace (her/his) nonbinary nature. Not one of (her/his) works discuss the role of white males in preventing gender affirming surgery to children. Both are now persona non-gratta and need to be erased from herstory.
