Feminism today is a little bit of a mystery if you ask me. People think that in order to be a feminist, you have to be a girl. That is not true. There are plenty of guys who are feminists. It’s not a bad thing. Girls and women are people too. They are on this Earth for a reason. There are many role models, good and bad, when it comes to feminism. A good role model is Hermione Granger, from the Harry Potter novels. Even though she is only a character in a book, she is a great person to look up to. She has respect for women, and his comfortable being herself. She doesn’t do what everyone else does, just to fit in. It is important for women and especially young girls to look up to people like Hermione. She is an independent, smart, confident woman. If more girls looked up to people like her, instead of looking up to people like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, we would be a lot better off. Check out this blog to see what other people think about it. In Macbeth, Lady Macbeth shows us how strong women can be. She convinces her husband to commit a murder, and then convinces him to lie about it and commit another murder. If she wasn’t such a powerful and manipulating person, Macbeth would have been able to say no to her. Lady Macbeth is a very powerful woman who shows us, the readers, how powerful a woman can be. Even though she is not the nicest, sweetest woman in the world, she is very powerful, strong and confident, which are great qualities for a woman to have.
