I think she “comes from” education. She is the perfect example of what she speaks of. She is the epitome of hope for a better world.

a wonderful story – our seventh graders learned about her and her struggles for equality… sadly I think the message was lost for them as most 12-13 year olds don’t yet have the capacity to think beyond themselves and realize how important the opportunity to learn is.. for me, it wasn’t until i was much older and my brain was fully developed that i understood what i had, and what I had missed. She is an inspiration. Thanks for the reminder.

Well maybe something is retained subconsciously in the minds of those 12 & 13 year olds? I’m gonna be optimistic and say YES! They’ll “get it” when they need too and you gave them the beginning thread to find their way. But yes, she is an inspiration and I hope to be a little bit like her some day… changing the world for the better seems like a good goal in general! 🙂

Totally agree. The more publicity this astonishing young woman gets, the better. She is so articulate and speaks so powerfully on such an absolutely essential subject.

It seems almost ridiculous to say, but I really mean it: there is a beauty that just come through her. A courage that is deep seated and lovely. And I’m generally not one of those people who is super spiritual and “meditational” and such. But, I aspire to be like her… We could all use a little bit of whatever she’s got!

I know what you mean. When she speaks i just listen. She just gets you right in the heart. Can’t put it into words without it sounding a bit strange, but she moves me with the clarity and determination she shows when she speaks. I just can’t get my head around how someone can be so wise and at that age.
Education is empowerment. I truly hope it leads to women having a choice, having a voice, and tilting the scales toward some sort of balance in male dominated doctrine.

Have you seen the extended Jon Stewart interview with her? She’s just such an amazing person. Her father is right to be proud of her.

Thank you for posting this Wolfie. I had seen this before, but just watched it again. Honestly, I don’t know where she comes from either (as Jon Stewart says). But I am so glad she is here. She is truly amazing. A gift for all of us!
