What is a Feminist Voice?

I'm starting with the idea that "Feminist voice" is any expression that seeks to end sexism and promote gender equality in personal and public spheres. This can include: spoken words, written text, images, music, films/videos and lived actions that lead by example. Voice can include silence when it is consciously used to articulate resistance to sexism or to affirm women's strengths, contributions and equality.

Because women's perspectives, experiences and ideas have been largely ignored and dismissed throughout history and in individual lives, many of us have difficulty discerning and sharing our voices. It takes courage and commitment to forge a feminist path in the world, but many have done it before us and many will offer us support along the way.

Here we'll explore methods, challenges, venues, and opportunities for living and expressing our feminism in our homes, communities and the world.
