So here starts my journey

This is the beginning of my journey and my education into feminism. Although I've always considered myself a feminist, I have to admit I've never taken as seriously as I thought I should. So, I decided to learn all I can about it, the struggles we as women are still facing today and why we are still facing some of the same issues we were facing generations ago.

I suppose I got into feminism because I've been directly affected by it. I can remember getting lower pay and doing the same job, for even longer! I can remember being told that I couldn't do something, just because I'm a woman. I can remember doing a play in high school where I played Susan B. Anthony and not knowing who she was, until my teacher pointed me in the right direction. I can also remember when my grandmothers couldn't vote, couldn't do the same things a man could do, and how much rage I felt because of that. Also, a couple of very good friends of mine reminded me that we are all in this together, and if we are going to make any sort of impact, we must stick together.

Along this journey I suspect that I'll stumble, say something that is totally off or wrong, or just offend someone. But, it will be a fun and glorious journey. I hope to inspire others to take up the cause of feminism.

And, so it begins...look for more soon!
