 * Chelsea Clinton's Feminism **



//"When I'm asked, I always say I am a feminist because I absolutely believe women should have equal rights to men, that girls should be able to get an education, that a woman should be able to vote, have any job she wants, own property, travel and make the decisions she thinks are right for herself ... Both words, feminist and feminism, have become loaded terms in recent years, for women and men. This is partly because there are still people who don't believe women should have equal rights to men and who believe it's okay to insult, criticize and even bully girls and women. For others who absolutely believe women should have equal rights to men, they're terms that feel dated or old. What matters more than any given term is what you believe." ---// Chelsea Clinton, It's Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going

"Chelsea Clinton isn’t the next generation of the Clinton philanthropic operation – she’s this generation. And she’s clearly comfortable in that role, knowing that her position opens her to criticism and occasional sniping and pressing on regardless. Her role will only grow, and the emphasis on feminism – particularly the next generation of feminists, those who reject a post-feminist mindset – seems central to what drives her work."

Clinton responds to Turtis about the role feminism has played in her life: "Maybe not everyone thinks clean water is feminism, but it is. If feminism is really the belief that girls and women should have equal rights and equal opportunities to our brothers and fathers and sons, then we have to think about that holistically. Having teachers who take girls as seriously as boys, but also ensuring that there are safe ways for girls to get to school, and that they don’t have to spend their time hauling water or working in the fields, and how interconnected all of this is. I hope that girls and boys understand this while reading this book."

According to Levo, 88 percent of women don't negotiate their salaries. It's that statistic that's at the heart of #Ask4More, an annual campaign which encourages women to request to be treated as equals.
