I am Woman, Hear Me Blog

Welcome to the Women's Rights blog. It is one of many issue based blogs here at Change.org. I'm glad you've decided to stop by and take part in a conversation that, yes, is still relevant despite the fact that the 19th Amendment was passed over eighty years ago.

I am young. I was born in 1984. I didn't bang my head against a glass ceiling nor did I witness Roe v. Wade. But, one thing has become abundantly clear to me -  I am currently in the throes of a feminist awakening.

After much research and introspection, I believe that in order to understand the present one must look both forwards and backwards in time; one must embrace the the past and look toward the future in order to understand the women's rights movement today.

As I study the politics and world at play, I've come to realize one thing: feminism is not dead. It is here to stay. We just need to redefine it for a modern day movement. At this point in time, we all, more than ever, need to be the change we wish to see in the women's rights movement.

So, please stay tuned - this could get interesting.
