Reflection 6

In the piece, “‘What’s in a Name?’ On Writing the History of Feminism” (2012). Claire Goldberg Moses explains that activists define this term in many ways. Moses states that activists define this term based on their collective actions. She claims that the name “feminist” does matter because “our history matters,” because it is important to historically understand women’s inequality, and because names give strength to global movements. The reading by E. Susan Barber gives a preview of major events that happened in the United States Suffrage Movement. It is really an eye opener because it allows us women to appreciate the privileges we now enjoy. Even though we still have inequality, seeing such movement becoming successful it is pushing us even more to continue fighting for our rights as equal human beings. Given the media outlets that we currently have it allows us to create a world act on women empowerment and equality in all aspects of human’s life. I enjoy talking about women’s empowerment because it is what keeps us afloat in the society, it is what allows us to have a say so and it was what helps change the views of our past. Feminist wave is a great way to showcase to our youth’s that age does not matter when it comes to women empowerment. These young ladies show case strength, leadership, consistency etc. when working in their communities for a cause. Once I saw these video it changed my view of our world because it shows me that women empowerment is current throughout out the world and that makes a huge difference in this world. It provides hope for the future.
