'Nasty Woman' Movement

Overview

'Nasty Woman' is a term used by democratic women to describe themselves as being "just as nasty-maybe even more nasty- than the woman [Hillary Clinton] Trump had attempted to denigrate, via a weaponized mutter."[1] The term is associated with the goals of the Women's Movement through a poem, aimed to reclaim 'Nasty Woman,' which was recited at the D.C. Women's March on Washington.[2] "The phrase [Nasty woman] became a rallying cry for women everywhere,"[3] and it has generated merchandise that bears the term 'Nasty Woman.'[4] Echoing the Women's March's support for Planned Parenthood,[5] projects and exhibitions have used the term 'nasty woman' for their efforts to fundraise for Planned Parenthood.[6] Additionally, some celebrities favor the phrase, wearing 'Nasty Woman' T-shirts and expressing their support.[7]
