Thinking about the Women's Crusade article

This article was very insightful and in some ways inspiring to me, which I will explain later. After reading the article it made me realize just how unpublicized these women's issues are. As it said in the article how a lot of the women issues are considered "soft" issues, which they should not be, these issues are very serious and cause a lot of damage to both the women and their societies they live in. In my opinion I feel that front page news has gotten in the rut of always putting international issues about war, politics, and economy on the front line. There should be a change to what is considered front page worthy, or there should be other humanitarian issues included at least.

I felt very inspired after reading about Tererai and how she set her goals and buried them in the tin can and how she has now reached every single one of the goals she set. The were huge goals but she overcame what must have been very difficult obstacles and achieved what she wanted. I thought to myself if this is possible then what is not possible?
