Hiratsuka Raichō, born on this day in 1886, was an anarchist writer, journalist, political activist, and pioneering Japanese feminist. Her efforts helped legalize Japanese women joining political organizations in 1922.
Upon graduating from university, Hiratsuka founded Japan's first all-women literary magazine, Seitō (青鞜, literally "Bluestocking"), in 1911.
Hiratsuka began the first issue with the words, "In the beginning, woman was the sun", a reference to the Shinto goddess Amaterasu, and to the spiritual independence which women had lost. Adopting the pen name "Raichō" ("Thunderbird"), she began to call for a women's spiritual revolution.
Hiratsuka also founded the New Women's Association with fellow women's rights activist Ichikawa Fusae. It was largely through this group's efforts that the Article 5 of the Police Security Regulations, which barred women from joining political organizations and holding or attending political meetings, was overturned in 1922.

Theory:
Eat breakfast before the drive? You're not craving salt and grease, you're hungry.
I'm already so low on sleep it's really tough to get myself out of bed to even get to work on time let alone do anything before i go.
The toddler doesn't sleep so I can't go to bed earlier. I could prep something to heat up when i get to work i suppose
At lot of people at my work buy bulk packs of instant protein oatmeal and keep them at their desk or frozen breakfast sandwiches and keep them in the freezer to eat breakfast here
For the oatmeal or other shelf stable stuff you could keep them in your car too
