EPIGRAPH:
"I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own."
- Audre Lorde

SUMMARY:
You are one of the lucky ones. You can grow up to be a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor, a librarian. You will grow up in a family that loves you, and you can be whoever you want to be, love whoever you want to love. You will have the world at your fingertips. Now, you will have a choice: to stay blissfully ignorant, or to try to make this world a better place. You can choose to shut your eyes to the devastation happening around you. Or you could try, really try, to even the playing field for all women and all peoples. Here is where you will choose what kind of person you want to be. This is THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.
