The Lone Star state has a long tradition of strong, progressive women, from the late Democratic Gov.

Wendy Davis, whose 11-hour filibuster of an anti-abortion bill catapulted her to national attention. Lately, a new crew of activists, organizers, and officeholders has emerged to battle the Trump agenda and restore the state to its once-blue glory.
