Emma Watson Feminism Research

Emma Watson, a well known actress, stood up in front of the U.N. to deliver a speech on the gender inequality happening all over the globe. She has recently taken a year out of acting to learn more about global gender equality, she has been criticised by many people, but she wont back down until she has justice.

Herself and Jennifer Lawrence both have talked publicly about how their is a pay gap in Hollywood between the two genders.

The Harry potter actress has talked openly about her treatment she has felt from being the ,"weaker gender", from being slapped on the bum to being followed home. She is sharing her voice for women who have had the same happen to her or worse, she is helping women have a voice in society.

As critics mentioned Emma Watson never talked about non-white or  non-straight women. After in one of her interviews she relates to a non-white feminist author and intersectionalist expert, Bell Hooks;

“Women want to be women. We just want to be treated equally. It’s not about man hating. bell hooks says, ‘Patriarchy has no gender.’”
