{♥} LOVING FEMINISM {♥}

Never Give Up!

To all our dead, wiped out of History, people who made a difference and who would have helped us evolve into a truly civilized species, in loving gratitude and rebellion

How can people feel you have nothing to learn from feminism?
Have you ever missed women in knowledge and culture?
Have you ever thought of women artists in Pre-history?

“Reach for the stars to change the world,” Harriet Tubman
“If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be in your revolution,” Emma Goldman
“The most vital right is the right to love and be loved,” Emma Goldman (thinker and activist)

Chapter 1

Century after century, patriarchal social systems have not loved women. Women were incomplete, faulty, inferior versions of Man; therefore, the best use the system could make of them was put them to work in reproduction, and in educating children (not young men) in patriarchal values. This was the assigned role women had, if they wanted to be considered valuable for the species.

Nursery school girl interviewed on market and gender

The world is certainly changing! ♥ Girls listened to?!!!! That IS news!

Eve Ensler, the stand-up comedian that created a worldwide movement of people fighting against violence against women, called V-Day and the Vagina Warriors, traveled around the world to interview girls this time, and tries to tell us in “I Am an Emotional Creature. On the Secret Life of Girls” some of the stories and things she learned from listening to girls. You can buy the book (it’s bon marché; I’ve got a copy you can borrow) or download the pdf
