Here’s an hour-long lecture and Q&A with Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). The lecture recounts the long, honorable history of women in atheism, and explicitly connects feminism and freethought. It’s a great tour through the history — the often secret history — of women who fought and gave all, risking persecution for speaking out against religion and for women’s rights to control their destinies. The lecture was recorded at the Center for Inquiry‘s 2012 Women in Secularism Conference, and FFRF was founded by Gaylor and her mother, Anne Nicol Gaylor.
