Modern Feminism

I was thinking back to our Socratic Seminar from a few weeks ago and the discussion that we had around the female characters in The Great Gatsby, specifically Daisy. For all my Harry Potter lovers out there, Emma Watson was recently appointed the women's rights representative to the United Nations. Last week she gave this powerful speech and sent a message about how together (men and women) can help change the trajectory of gender equality across the world. Watch the video here-> Watson's Speech. In your first discussion post respond to her claims. What will it take for gender equality on a global level? How does this affirm or change your perspective on feminism? Can you see any connections to the way that women were viewed/treated in The Great Gatsby? (In all discussion posts be sure to support your claims with direct evidence from the source.)
