Semester 1, Theme 2: Gender Equity and Empowerment
Join us in March as we break down what sexism and gender oppression really means, from its history to how it shows up in our daily lives. We'll talk about the harmful effects of stereotypes and objectification, and discuss simple ways we can challenge these ideas. We'll also explore how gender inequality affects our health and well-being, and how we can work toward a more fair and supportive world together.

Summary: In this personal, eloquently-argued essay—adapted from the much-admired TEDx talk of the same name—Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century. Drawing extensively on her own experiences and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman now—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.
