Feminist gifts for a woman who already owns a "Nevertheless She Persisted" shirt

We’re excited to honor their efforts with some incredible feminist gifts, off of which support women owned-businesses, women authors, women, creators, and women makers. 

Oh and hey…they aren’t just for women. Just sayin…
