With Thanksgiving being this week, now is the time for us to reflect on things to be thankful for.  Honestly ever since seeing Suffragette I have been thankful. I was definitely one of those girls that took our rights for granted.  I was raised by a tremendously strong feminist and grew into my own.  I had no idea that the rights, opportunities and voice that we have were something earned such a short time ago.  I was shocked at the end of the movie when it was scrolling the dates when women earned these same rights in other countries, to learn how some of those just happened such a short time ago.  It was SHOCKING to me!  I am embarrassed to say, I had my head stuck in the sand a bit.  It was my obligation as a proud feminist to really understand the sacrifices made by so many women to earn me those rights and what it really means to have these rights and voice.
