The Digital Sisterhood Network sponsored the DC She Writers Spring Meet Up on March 29 at Teaism, a woman-owned tea cafe in Washington, DC. The group shared six-word memoirs about feminism as ice breakers (they have been edited for this post). See below.

- feminism birthed an explosion of professionalism
- what is feminism? an undercover playmate
- younger women are losing ground now
- feminism was suppose to change things
- feminism is a gift from my mother
