Inspiring Feminists around the world

Even though we had big progress in our society, it seems that the differences between each other are still an issue. While yes, women can get a job today, they can pursue different career paths and don’t have to be stay at home wives, women often are oppressed in different ways. It can vary from subtitle oppression, with not getting paid as much as men for the same job position or it could be more radical such as psychological and physical torture. 

Feminism is still required, so this endless cycle of violence and misunderstandings between men and women can be brought to an end. Luckily, there are a lot of people that stand up for gender equality, and there are a lot of public figures that have openly joined the feminist movement through the ages. Were you wondering who some of them might be?

2. Oprah Winfrey
