The original Women’s March in 2017 was organized by liberal activists as a rebuke of President Trump’s election, and a show of unity for women’s rights and issues. Three years later, the Women’s March has fractured into rival factions amid a row over under-representation of minority groups and accusations of anti-Semitism.
