"In the wake of the devastating earthquake, Haitian women have the opportunity to take a cue from the three fallen feminists and work to position themselves at the forefront of the reconstruction and restoration efforts to ensure that their needs are addressed. The Daily Beast mentions reproductive health care and education for girls as being critical issues for women to resolve. One can only hope that in the coming months and years that the women of Haiti can invoke the spirits of the great feminist voices of Merlet, Machelin, and Coriolan to make necessary changes."
