I grabbed this from Spinster, where these sorts of memes and images get posted quite a lot.
It’s a good spot to hang out, once you adapt to the more Twitter-like structure. Most days, at least one woman will post a lot of memes of varying quality. There are women who post bits of history, women who post nice pictures, women who post news, and various discussions of gardening, painting, food, etc.

How is Spinster these days? I let my account go dormant because I found the forum format of Ovarit much easier to follow. I will have to go back!
It’s a very different format to a forum, so it makes for different sorts of interactions. It’s a much less high-stakes thing to post anything, including your own work or a random photo you took of something you thought looked nice. And there are a lot more memes.
EDIT: I should add that you do need to have a fairly high tolerance for all sorts, since women will post all sorts of things, and more extreme views than you’d see on Ovarit are not unusual. You can easily mute or block people if you want. If you dip a toe into the wider Fediverse, I’d be wary of blocking people.

Makes a partner to the more-male-centric view of this cartoon from 2016 that made the rounds a lot during Covid lockdowns. While it’s useful for the framing around the man making the common online comment, it’s interesting how this one is mostly the man’s calm view with the woman as background interruption (dealing with the stuff of life), whereas the Women’s Workshop one is mostly the woman’s busy life with the man’s boozy lunch as interruption.

Found on Spinster, if you’re looking for a place where this sort of history and memery gets posted and discussed.
I love that this is from the 70s. Around that time, my mum often wore a shirt that read "every mother is a working mother."
Of course, in today's version, the mother would be waking up earlier so that both kids could be gotten ready and dropped off, so that she could work all day, and then all of her "daytime" chores would be moved to the evening and she would be going to bed after everyone else.
And we would call it progress. Yay! She now has two jobs!
Are there any accounts that focus on old Feminist memes, art and stuff like this?
I got this one from Triptychtwinsridesagain, who posts a lot of various things (and can generally find an image if you ask). I’m not sure that I’ve seen any currently-active accounts that focus on this, anymore: a lot of the women who will post things like this post a lot of other things, too, or post more news these days. I find it works well if you’re happy to take the mix: keep popping into the ‘local’ timeline at different times on different days, interact with the things you like, and follow the women who post them.
Probably if you asked nicely for more things like this (“Does anyone have any…”), after women had assessed you were not some evil infiltrator, women would post them. There are hashtags like feministart and feministhistory, but only a very few women use those when they post: one of those (Anunglkwe) is prolific, so it can still be worth a look.
