Just in time for Women’s History Month, this new video from our friend WheresTheLine08 is a celebration of women leaders around the world, and a look back at the many courageous American women who have broken barriers to run for political office:
What a great video WheretheLine!
I watched it with my children who both liked it too.
I cried at the end part with Hillary’s speech.
loved it. they should expand and show us more of the former women who run, and a few informations what these female leaders did during their presidencies.
but still a great start, can’t wait until my daughter is back from sleepover and watch.
she was so disappointed when Hillary dispended her race.
Isn’t America is the land of oppurtunity? It’s interesting that many, many other nations where Americans would think are women are more opressed, have already have had woman heads of state. Some of them have had multiple women heads of state!
What a wonderful video—-so inspiring!!! And like Amy—-I cried at the end.
Yes, Anna from AK, I was thinking the same thing. The different ways that women are oppressed. I know some of the countries that have had women as presidents/ prime ministers have terrible records when it comes to women but somehow they respect a woman’s leadership ability enough to be president. Very interesting. I’m starting to think that in the U.S. women, who have certainly made a lot of progress, are essentially seen as dumb bitches. I don’t know what else to think.
Feminist theorists, please explain this to me!
The US is ranked 69th in the world in women in politics. I would say we have some work to do!
WheresTheLine,
My kids are home today due to a snow storm.
My son just came over to ask how we could look at your video again on his own – he liked it so much. He is 8. Great work!!!
We have reached “critical mass” women….and it’s time to effect change worldwide.
Sincerely,
