Talk: “Feminism isn’t dead, it’s gone viral!”

If you think feminism is dead, this modern-day feminist will show you otherwise.

Kat Lazo found feminism online. Not in a gender studies class or a lecture hall but through the works of online activists and bloggers. Her talk “Feminism Isn’t Dead, Its Gone Viral” explores how feminists are not only alive and well but how they’re using the Internets accessibility to create social change.
