OWN’s Posts for Professional Women Series: Emma Watson

It is the purpose of OWN’s website to not only convey club information but to be a forum for discussion and information about the issues that impact professional women, particularly those working within the legal profession. Below is our first post of the year about Emma Watson’s much talked about UN speech about feminism. Thank you to Junior Executive member Eden Wine for the contribution.


In accordance with our theme of women in law, and OWN’s mission to help motivate the progression and continued success of females in the legal profession, Emma Watson’s UN speech is a phenomenal starting point for this year’s web posts. Her presentation is not only articulate, but it is inspirational. We shouldn’t be afraid of the word “feminist”, because it truly is more about the movement and not the semantics. In the same light, we shouldn’t allow the semantics and cultural stipulations of legal history to paint its future. The movement supported in Watson’s words, in a political atmosphere, highlights the nature of the future of our society. Opportunities for women in law may progress from this movement, and it is worth tracking and helping to nurture it.
