Response to Videos in class

I really enjoyed watching all three of the women in class today. I thought that were all very different, and had different ways of expressing their ideas but I liked them all. My favorite was probably the first women we watched, Isabele Anda. I loved how instead of just talking about all the negative things happening with women, she brought up some great examples of strong women. It's crazy to think these things are happening everyday in the world around us and get little to no recognition. I wrote down one direct statistic from her talk which was that 80% of people in refuge around the world are women. I also wrote down that for every dollar made by women, 20 are made by men. That's crazy for me to think about, and I think we forget sometimes that even though we have come so far in our struggle for rights - we still have a ways to go. I would like to watch more of these women speak in class, and definitely feel that it gave me a new insight to the idea of feminism.
