During the 1920s, Eastman was a columnist for [[Alice Paul]]'s feminist journal, ''[[Equal Rights (journal)|Equal Rights]],'' and the British feminist weekly publication ''[[Time and Tide (magazine)|Time and Tide]]''.<ref name=":1" /> Eastman claimed that "life was a big battle for the complete feminist," but she was convinced that the complete feminist would someday achieve total victory.<ref name=":1" /> ===Death=== Crystal Eastman died at age 47, on July 8, 1928, of [[nephritis]], a year after her husband had passed.<ref name=":1" /> Friends were entrusted with their two orphaned children, then seven and eleven years old, to rear them until adulthood.{{Citation needed|date=June 2022}}
