Reflection 1

The speech entitled ‘Women in Political Action’ by Julia Fursova is about the oppression of

women in politics and tools needed to change this. The line that stood out was ‘To change the

system we need different women around the table’. This made me question why women are

perceived as weak in society?

The poster ‘Historic Women:Hilary Clinton’ by Zenpop is about women who have made powerful

footprints in politics. The information is presented in an artistic form and I wondered how hard

these women had to work for their position?

‘Why do so few women hold positions of Power’ is an article about the quota system and its

ability to empower women for positions of power. A question that arose is ; why said system

can be used in other cultures ? A revelation to the previous question is the quota system may

not work in a systematically white society.
