Equal Writes

Q: How did you first become interested in women's studies?

A: I had always considered myself a feminist, but I grew up in a liberal bubble. It wasn't until I came to Princeton that I experienced the problems that people like my mother told me that they had faced. I also found it really strange that with Princeton's history of sexism, no one talks about the gender problems. I got involved in some groups on campus where I was very vocal about women's issues - though I hate that term. It's a man's issue, too.

Q: How did your blog start?

A: It wasn't my idea. A senior named Chloe Angyal had the idea for a blog, but didn't have much time to start it. A few people referred me to her, so we met and discussed the idea for Equal Writes. It was definitely Chloe's idea, but now I'm co-editing with Josh Franklin '11. We recruited some writers from different organizations on campus, and the blog began.
