justice people sitting
Every social justice movement that I know of has come out of people sitting in small groups, telling their life stories, and discovering that other people have shared similar experiences.
writing justice people
As an activist, you do find yourself directed more toward public action. But I've always tried to use stories from my own life in my writing for instance. It has always been clear to me that the stories of each other's lives are our best textbooks. Every social justice movement that I know of has come out of people sitting in small groups, telling their life stories, and discovering that other people have shared similar experiences. So, if we've shared many experiences, then it probably has something to do with power or politics, and if we unify and act together, then we can make a change.
successful fighting justice
Just when you thought multi-nationals and crazed consumerism were too big to fight, along comes Naomi Klein with facts, spirit, and news of successful fighters already out there. No Logo is an invigorating call to arms for everybody who wants to save money, justice, or the universe.
dream humorous justice
As a writer and as a human being, Susan Dworkin has always had the ability to draw us into new dreams of justice, and to make them irresistibly practical, humorous and human. She makes clear that progress and pleasure go together.
teacher school justice
Even when educators survey grade school texts and create new bibliographies to help teachers include Asians, Eskimos, and other Americans, females in and out of those groups may be down-played or forgotten.
believe numbers justice
Economic systems are not value-free columns of numbers based on rules of reason, but ways of expressing what varying societies believe is important.
names justice double-standard
It still may take some explaining, but many more women are keeping their birth names (and not calling them maiden names, with all the sexual double standards that implies).
law justice battered-women
Law and justice are not always the same.
law justice may
Law and justice are not always the same. When they aren't, destroying the law may be the first step toward changing it.
compete favours men spent women
Do women compete for the favours of men? Yes. They've spent 5,000 years competing.
acting art behaving morally
The art of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.
anchor authority female girls iconic image learn network since telling vision women
One thing is sure. Women and girls will have their first vision of a female network anchor who is an authority on her own. Since we learn by example, there's no telling where that iconic image may lead.
men path power twice
Men should think twice before making widowhood women's only path to power
affects general men taken women
In a general way, anything that affects men is taken more seriously than anything that affects only women.
