Well before the birth of our Radical Nurses Collective, Cassandra Radical Feminist Nurses Network was formed, a direct response to the American Nurses Association failure to meaningfully engage women’s liberation ideals in the early 1980s. Peggy Chinn and Charlene Wheeler and others convened a coven of sorts, a web spun by crone nurses across the United States, connecting the work of nurses to the vital politics of feminism. This week, we pay homage to our foremothers by honoring Cassandra Radical Feminist Nurses Network.
