realized, for the first time, that I am a woman. Growing up in white New England suburbia, I was always an over-achiever, loved by the community, so I never realized that I was part of a group that is still under a great deal of oppression. But it turns out, even in America in 2007, women still face sexism just as much as other minorities still face racism (which, I am ashamed to say, I also learned this weekend).

Granted, the challenges facing me are much less than perhaps those facing an African-American or Hispanic woman, or a low-income or transgender woman. However, we are all part of one group, and we, as well as men, can all fight against the challenges facing women all over the world.
