Take what you learned from Caresse John’s "3 Things to Know About Feminism" and spend more time reflecting on the ideas she presents. Use these questions for your own reflection or bring them to a group conversation. Learn, Reflect, Grow.
 

• What do you think of when you hear the word feminism? Why do you have that association?

What do you think this listening produces?

• Why do you think feminism is important?
