The word FEMINIST gets a lot of attention these days. Time Magazine dubbed 2014 “The Year of the Feminist” and then later included it on its list of proposed words to ban from our pop culture vocabulary. Beyonce and Jennifer Lawrence openly embrace the word while Lady Gaga and Shailene Woodley strongly resist it.
What gives?
If you’re confused about the word FEMINIST and wonder, “Am I a feminist?” OR “Should I be a feminist?” then this event is for you, no matter your age or gender. Teens & parents especially encouraged to attend!
