CNN —It’s a strange moment to be an American feminist who cares deeply about women’s rights beyond her own country’s borders.
The news that the French National Assembly has passed a bill that would enshrine abortion rights in the country’s constitution evokes mixed emotions.
But French feminists know better: They see rising right-wing movements around the world and understand how quickly circumstances can change.
Hopefully, French women, and so many others whose countries are actually progressing on women’s rights instead of backsliding, see an easy victory.
I’m glad French and other feminists are working overtime so that they don’t end up like American women.
