Around the world, young girls are not allowed to go to school, speak their mind, or make their own decisions. Here at Cornell, we are all so lucky to receive an education–regardless of gender. Attending an Ivy League school is such a privilege, but sometimes it’s really easy to forget how fortunate we are to just voice our opinions and have the opportunity to learn.
So this Thanksgiving, The School Girl Project and Slope Media are thankful for some inspiring feminists who are constantly pushing for the advancement of women everywhere.
