Leading Figures in Post-War Western Feminism: U.S. and French Contexts
“In the United States, the four most important figures in radical feminism since World War Two were Jewish women: Betty Friedan, who founded the first large-scale feminist movement in the United States (NOW: National Organization for Women); Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem, and Gloria Allred. In France, Jewish women also headed the movement after the war: Anne Tristan (Zelansky) created the association Feminine-Masculine-Future in 1968; Gisele Halimi was also one of the leading figures of militant feminism. Born in Tunisia in 1927, her real name was Zeilza Gisele Elise Taieb. A lawyer, she cut her teeth on Communism, demonstrated for Algerian independence, untiringly denouncing the French army and colonialism. In 1971, she founded the feminist movement with Simone de Beauvoir and militated with Simone Veil for “abortion rights for French women”. She was also one of the founders of the world globalization movement Attac. In 2006, she was promoted to the Légion d’Honneur” (Ryssen, 2014, p. 70).

Feminism and the Frankfurt School
Feminism has nothing to do with femininity. It’s another case example (among countless examples) of linguistic/mental manipulation and perverse inversion designed to collapse Western societies.

Washington’s Masonic Correspondence (1915) is a compiled collection of letters and documents drawn from the Washington Papers in the Library of Congress, documenting George Washington’s active involvement in Freemasonry. Washington held the Masonic fraternity in high esteem, demonstrated through consistent correspondence, preservation of letters, and participation in Masonic events. Sachse emphasizes Washington’s deliberate record-keeping, including drafts and copied replies, as evidence of both authenticity and importance.
• Washington maintained extensive, organized Masonic correspondence, often preserving both incoming letters and his replies.
• The documents demonstrate his sustained respect for and engagement with Freemasonry.
• The compilation serves a corrective purpose, explicitly countering 19th-century Anti-Masonic claims that Washington had little or no connection to Freemasonry.
• The correspondence reflects broader Masonic cultural values such as honor, fraternity, and civic virtue in early U.S. history.

On August 21, 1790, President George Washington composed a letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island, and to its leader, Moses Seixas. Seixas had written a letter to Washington four days earlier. In this letter, Seixas described the benefits that his community received under the new Constitution and expressed his “deep sense of gratitude to the Almighty” for “a Government . . . erected by the Majesty of the People,” committed to the “liberty of conscience,” and “deeming every one, of whatever Nation, tongue, or language equal parts of the great governmental Machine.” Washington responded with a brief but powerful letter, expressing America’s enduring commitment to the principle of tolerance and the freedom of conscience.
