Welcome to Feisty Femmes!
Thanks so much for your interest/participation in Feisty Femmes, the new blog created by the Office for University Women (OUW). Here's a little background: the idea to start Feisty Femmes was borne out of our desire to know what's important to women students (undergraduate and graduate/professional) today. We are always looking for ways to engage women students in our programs and initiatives. We thought that one way to do that was to figure out what women are talking about. Instead of having a blog where OUW staff does most of the talking, we wanted to create a space where women students could initiate and drive the conversation, where they could define and discuss what the important and interesting issues are. Maybe those issues are reproductive rights, maybe it's politics, maybe it's images of women in media, women in technology, women of color, etc.
