Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World

by Kelly Jensen

A feminist, in my mind, was a woman at full potential.

Feminism is about recognizing power and fighting to distribute it equally, regardless of race or class or ability or gender.

Feminism reminds us that people have inherent worth for who they are, not how they look.

Feminism isn’t a glass slipper that fits only one perfect woman; it is an umbrella that has to become big enough to protect us all, even from one another.

Marginalized women don’t need other people to speak for them. They need access to the mic to speak for themselves.
