Lili Loofbourow has written a remarkable piece about Pat that details not only the Army of Three’s history, but the wide-ranging strategy, actions, and sheer rage of the three women responsible for much of the early reproductive rights movement’s monumental success.

First and forever, thanks to Pat for more than half a century of superhuman dedication, inspiration, and leadership. And thanks to Lana Phelan and Rowena Gurner — Rest in Power, sisters.

Thanks to Lili for sharing Pat’s story with such deep understanding.

And thanks in advance to the young women who have inherited this battle—and must win it. We did it once; you can do it again. Here’s how.
