Strayer pp 507-524

In this chapter it talked about the Haiti, Spanish, abolition, nationalism and feminism revolution. What all of these revolutions have in common is the notion of equality. The Haiti revolution was from 1791-1804. It was the only successful rebellion in history. One of their biggest legacy was the saying "remember Haiti". This is in comparison of the abolition revolution. In order to fulfill this they dealt with awareness,boycotting and work through the government. The feminist revolution was one of the most touching moments for me. In the book it states that " from the beginning, feminism was a transatlantic movement in which European and American women attended the same conferences, corresponded regularly, and read one another's work."(page 521) Combining multiple women groups together they are able to grow as a bigger nation to make the feminist revolution stronger.
