This is an article about some really cool breakthroughs and achievements of some notable women in the past year. The achievements range from a 13 year old girl calling out a magazine for their depiction of women to a woman defying the Taliban. One of the greatest things about this article is it that it depicts alot of amazing women of different ethnic backgrounds, which is something that you don't see often. With 2014 nearing an end, there has been alot of big strides forward in the feminist movement. Countless celebrities have publicly declared themselves feminists, it's becoming more and more "socially acceptable" for women to not shave their body hair, and there has been a huge surge in girl to girl positivity. Yes, these things may seem small in comparison to some of the horrific things happening around the world. But, these things are the first few stepping stones to a future with equal rights for men and women (and transgendered men and women, and non gender binary persons as well) and overall acceptance of each other.
