Our dream is to create a safe haven for young women, a place where women like us do not have to feel as though they must follow the gender roles passed on for thousands of years. Being a woman is both a blessing and a societal curse.
As rising juniors at Rutgers University with concentrations in Women & Gender Studies (I am a Journalism & Media Studies major with a WGS minor while Meg double majors in History and WGS with a minor in Social Justice), we know from classes as well as personal experiences what it's like to be a woman in the year 2012. In fact, it was a course entitled "Gender, Culture and Representation" that brought Meg and I together!
Feminism has a negative connotation, it brings to mind a girl who can't get a guy, or some bitch complaining about something that doesn't exist. We're here to prove that stereotype wrong. We are two kickass, independent and rockstar women that know how to be both brilliant feministsas and dress to the nines.
Welcome to Just a Girl, this is going to be a fun ride.
