As Pat Maginnis enters her ninth decade in an era that threatens our hard-won bodily autonomy, it’s a good time to think about the past and the future. With a lifetime of historic work on behalf of women’s reproductive freedom, Pat’s still active in the Bay Area progressive community, appreciates being chosen as a 2018 National Women’s History Project Honoree, and is optimistic about the feminist resistance.

Happy birthday, Pat, and thanks for everything. Keep fighting, sisters and brothers! Our future is in our hands.
