Many now question the need for feminism as an ongoing movement. That is, there's a common perception that the goal of gender equality has already been achieved and there is little left to be changed. However, this view is not only incorrect, it is a potentially dangerous assumption that promotes complacency. I will be speaking about the multi-media exhibit I created as a senior project. Using data from a wide range of socio-economic, political, institutional, individual, and existential markers, the presentation unequivocally demonstrates the prevalence of gender inequality across society's sundry spheres. The multi-media format deconstructs and helps visualize information in a manner that is accessible and understandable to the general public, while simultaneously stirring an emotional reaction. In this way, I hope to shed some light on the history and necessity of this movement.
