About

Through a women and gender studies class, I've had this opportunity to create a blog formulated around feminism, women's rights, leadership in the movement, and discrimination in gender and race. This opportunity proved to be very rewarding as I believe it is very important to be informed of the history and current struggles faced by women today. Having this understanding allows people to have a greater appreciation for feminism, as well as know what it really stands for. Too many times have I heard people say that the women's movement is "dead" or an argument towards males, so being informed and equipped with the real truth is the only way to face these false statements and really have the opportunity to make change. I was inspired to choose a theme about the parallels in the past and present because of a newspaper I received one day. The head story read ,"Local Women Making 68 Cents Off Of Every Dollar Males Make." I was surprised because in my class, we had recently studied women's pay in the past and legislation that was supposed to guarantee equality. I was very curious to research the issues women still have today compared to the same in the past and feel that this blog adequately represents some of these parallels, as well as the historical background of the women's movement and leadership within.
