Being a feminist doesn’t mean you hate men, a lesbian or that you think men are less than woman. Being a feminist is embracing the value and strength of women, knowing your value is just as important and equal to men.

NO PHOTOSET HAS MADE ME HAPPIER.
MY FAVORITE PHOTOSET IS BACK
Model Ebonee Davis Skewers Racism In Fashion Industry In Brilliant TED Talk
Every black model faces this during her career. And this is terrible. Our society needs to change.Our beauty industry needs to change. We need diversity and give opportunities to models of color, because we live in multicultural world and everybody should be represented in the Media to be inspired by their success, to be able to relate to them. The way models of color are treated is just unacceptable.
Women In History
I grew up believing that women had contributed nothing to the world until the 1960′s. So once I became a feminist I started collecting information on women in history, and here’s my collection so far, in no particular order.
Lepa Svetozara Radić (1925–1943) was a partisan executed at the age of 17 for shooting at German soldiers during WW2. As her captors tied the noose around her neck, they offered her a way out of the gallows by revealing her comrades and leaders identities. She responded that she was not a traitor to her people and they would reveal themselves when they avenged her death. She was the youngest winner of the Order of the People’s Hero of Yugoslavia, awarded in 1951
23 year old Phyllis Latour Doyle was British spy who parachuted into occupied Normandy in 1944 on a reconnaissance mission in preparation for D-day. She relayed 135 secret messages before France was finally liberated.
Catherine Leroy, War Photographer starting with the Vietnam war. She was taken a prisoner of war. When released she continued to be a war photographer until her death in 2006.
Lieutenant Pavlichenko was a Russian sniper in WWII, with a total of 309 kills, including 36 enemy snipers. After being wounded, she toured the US to promote friendship between the two countries, and was called ‘fat’ by one of her interviewers, which she found rather amusing.
Johanna Hannie “Jannetje” Schaft was born in Haarlem. She studied in Amsterdam had many Jewish friends. During WWII she aided many people who were hiding from the Germans and began working in resistance movements. She helped to assassinate two nazis. She was later captured and executed. Her last words were “I shoot better than you.”.
Nancy wake was a resistance spy in WWII, and was so hated by the Germans that at one point she was their most wanted person with a price of 5 million francs on her head. During one of her missions, while parachuting into occupied France, her parachute became tangled in a tree. A french agent commented that he wished that all trees would bear such beautiful fruit, to which she replied “Don’t give me any of that French shit!”, and later that evening she killed a German sentry with her bare hands.
After her husband was killed in WWII, Violette Szabo began working for the resistance. In her work, she helped to sabotage a railroad and passed along secret information. She was captured and executed at a concentration camp at age 23.
Grace Hopper was a computer scientist who invented the first ever compiler. Her invention makes every single computer program you use possible.
Mona Louise Parsons was a member of an informal resistance group in the Netherlands during WWII. After her resistance network was infiltrated, she was captured and was the first Canadian woman to be imprisoned by the Nazis. She was originally sentenced to death by firing squad, but the sentence was lowered to hard lard labor in a prison camp. She escaped.
Simone Segouin was a Parisian rebel who killed an unknown number of Germans and captured 25 with the aid of her submachine gun. She was present at the liberation of Paris and was later awarded the ‘croix de guerre’.
Mary Edwards Walker is the only woman to have ever won an American Medal of Honor. She earned it for her work as a surgeon during the Civil War. It was revoked in 1917, but she wore it until hear death two years later. It was restored posthumously.
Rita Levi-Montalcini - Italian neuroscientist who won a Nobel Prize for her discovery of nerve growth factor. She died aged 103.

This is an ongoing project of mine, and I’ll update this as much as I can (It’s not all WWII stuff, I’ve got separate folders for separate achievements).

Patricia E Bath is ophthalmologist and the inventor of the Laserphaco Probe, which is used to treat cataracts.
Barbara McClintock won a Nobel prize for her discovery that genes could move in and between chromosomes.
That’s it for now, part three will be on its way. (Josephine Baker was requested in the first installment, just know I did not forget her! She’s in a different folder, titled ‘famous people you didn’t know were complete badasses, and she, along with Hedy Lamar and Audrey Hepburn will be in the next installment :) )
When I have a daughter she will learn about a new woman each day. This is so great!
My great-great-aunt Alberta Montgomery was the first director of Veteran’s Rehabilitation after WW I. She taught herself a wide variety of skills so that she could pass them on, including jewelry making and wood turning. We have a lamp she turned the base of, made out of hickory cut down from the White House lawn. The family history has the story that she was walking to work when she saw the workmen cutting them down, and upon discovering they were just going to be cut up and burned, she had them brought to the Veterans’ Rehabilitation Services building instead.
Telling our stories is an act of resistance. That’s why the 1 in 3 Campaign’s annual livestreamed abortion Speakout is one of our most important events. We are honored to spend an entire day highlighting those with abortion experiences and making sure real people are not lost in divisive political rhetoric.
Please join us for The 1 in 3 Campaign Speakout: Stories from the Resistance, airing on www.1in3campaign.org on March 21 at 12pm.
Under the current Administration, many communities are under attack. Because we stand in solidarity with activists from many movements, and because all of us have many components to our identities and are ourselves part of many communities, this year’s Speakout will feature stories from the immigration, LGBTQ rights, Muslim rights, and Black Lives Matter movements alongside abortion storytellers. We are all part of the resistance, and all of our stories are important tools in the fight against unjust and harmful words and policies.
The 2017 Speakout will also occur simultaneously with the first ever 1 in 3 day on Capitol Hill, where abortion storytellers will share their stories with Congress. These legislators must hear our stories as they make important decisions about access to abortion care.

Ya'll need to understand that feminism isn't just about what is feminine. It's about EVERYONE. It's about women, men, and the folks in between; of all races and creeds. If we want everyone to be treated equally, we need to start educating and striving to understand everyone equally. In terms on men and women, we need to understand that men can be just as victimized too, but rarely talk about it, because the gender roles our world has created makes it impossible for them to open up: somehow to be emotionally vulnerable has become something too horrifying for most men, and we need to change that if we want to see more change.

Ladies, we’ve got to watch each other’s backs.
“Dress like women”… 🤔
Utah high school forced female students to go on a date with a boy — and follow a list of sexist advice
Jen Oxborrow, the parent of an 11th grade honor student at Highland High School, said her daughter Lucy Mulligan received the mandatory homework assignment to “go on a date!” with a boy.
On Monday, Oxborrow posted a screenshot of the handout the teacher distributed to female students, which lists some truly antiquated advice.
Some pointers on the pink worksheet include “don’t waste his money,” “be feminine and ladylike, don’t use vulgar language or swear” and “have a sense of humor.”
In an evergreen double standard, girls are also advised not to “worry about [their] appearance on the whole date” just before they’re reminded to “dress appropriately.”
The boys’ equivalent wasn’t much better, suggesting they bring their date flowers, open doors for her and “have her home on time."
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the assignment was part of the school’s state-mandated "Adult Roles and Financial Literacy” class. Read more
