Happy International Women's Day!

Hey Guys

It is March the 8th which is INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!

And for this I thought I'd share some women who inspire me, actions they've done which have inspired me and just generally girl power.

Before I start I am going say I am a feminist. Before you all sigh and think I'm like a man hater or something... I'm not.

Feminist means:  a collection of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment.

Its for EQUALITY not for one gender above another....

And I just want everyone to have equal rights, I want girls all over the world to be free to go to school and as such become whomever they want to be and be paid the same as their male counterpart. I want men to feel like it's ok to be a midwife or a stay at home dad and I want men to realise it is not the women's job to cook and clean. And for rape culture to change. That's why I'm a feminist.

Ok so firstly

 

 

the Pankhurst family, Here is Emmeline, Christabel and Sylvia Pankhurst, they all fought individually and together with the suffragettes for Women's votes. I am in total awe of the suffragettes their actions, their bravery combined with their complete determination for the cause. If I am able to inspire people half as much as they did, I would be incredibly happy.

 

 

Secondly



 

 

I am reading Malala's book right now, and every page is inspiring, I would love to reach out to the Women without education as she has done. Her morals of education for everyone has opened my eyes to the lack of it, and I would love to change and work towards a brighter future, for both genders.

 

 

 





 

 

 

Carrie Hope Fletcher

 

she has inspired me I a different way, to be more confident, and as such I am able to talk about feminism with my friends, classmates and write this blogpost. This shows inspiration doesn't have to be directly about what you want to inspire but still can help you. As also shown with Lucy Worsley (another inspirational woman... )

 

 

 

I have so many more inspirational women, quotes and charities I would love to share with you guys, so if you do think that is something you would like to see leave and comment and even give me a follow if you want...

 

 

Anyway feminism is something close to my heart and something I have found incredibly helpful and inspiring in y life. And I hope you guys will too.

 

Love,
