A FEMINIST WORLD 

This poem is considered "feminist" because it represents the ability of a woman to be extraordinary and remarkable among others. It shows that, although women are founded in the notion of lack (lack of male equipment), women are able to have a place in society and have the same rights as men have. A woman in this poem is represented as someone who can work and survive for her life by the strength she has. Also, the poem emphasizes the idea that women can be successful not by using her external beauty but by using much beyond her outer appearance.

               We Should All Be Feminists

We Should All Be Feminists is a personal, eloquently-argued essay – adapted from the much-viewed Tedx talk of the same name – by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

‘My own definition of a feminist is a man or a woman who says, yes, there is a problem with gender as it is today and we must fix it, we must do better. all of us, women and men, must do better.’

This essay has never been more relevant, important or necessary. It is a wonderful introduction to feminism and its growing purpose in today's society. however, it is just an introduction, as the brief length only allows for Adichie to concisely outline what feminism is and why it is important. but the topic itself is one that could fill tomes. and i have never read a statement that so efficiently and passionately describes the struggle for gender equality.

This book is a call to action, one that every human should be willing to answer.

The message behind this video is clear: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Despite all of the abuses and difficult situations Madonna had to deal with troughout her life, she managed to leave them all behind and become stronger day by day. "I wasn't alone", she explains, "I have many people who I have to say Thank You here". There are no magic solutions to our problems. The only cure is self believe. Our talents are gifts from God which are sent to us with a purpose. We have to take advantage of them in life, especially at difficult times. The good thing is that everything teaches us a lesson, good or bad, but something to carry on for the rest of our life.
