About a month ago, I discussed my interest in feminism with my Grandma, Imo Jean. She said to me, "You, know I think I have always been a feminist. Maybe not in the way that you are, but when I was growing up, my dad and my brothers would go out and work in the fields all day. At lunch time, they would come inside and take a long nap before going out again to work. And I always thought that was so unfair because my mother worked all day, just as hard as they would, but she never got a nap!"
My grandma and I probably have some very different views on different women's issues. But I think it's important to recognize that although there are some very different women out there, it is important that women continue to push for change concerning social inequalities.
