The article is directed at Emma Watson and other feminists, but it is an important read for just about anybody. The statistics are especially enlightening. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/a-challenge-to-emma-watso_b_9349630.html Just in case that link doesn't work: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sarah-blahovec/a-challenge-to-emma-watso_b_9349630.html Feel free to share related articles, facts or statistics. Or simply show your support for disabled women.  IP: Logged |

Great links. It rather reminds me of a program I watched yesterday called "the ugliest women in the world"
It told of her struggle to overcome her disabilities, that horrific title and become an inspirational speaker.
I will try to find a link about her (I can`t remember her name)------------------
