"What radicalized you?"
Fictional women.
It was Éowyn choosing to be a healer and to embrace her femininity after desiring honor from death in battle.
It was Aelin and her thousand small kindnesses winning the freedom of her people.
It was Peggy standing up for herself and knowing her worth and the worth of all the other women around her.
It was Satine choosing peace in a world that only wanted violence.
It was Shepard doing everything for the galaxy, even at the cost of her own life.
It was Lysandra finally being the one to end Arobynn and his reign of terror.
It was Hera still fighting tooth and nail for what she believed in, even when her loved ones were gone.
It was a thousand fictional women over and over and over again. It was them who saved their worlds and them who found themselves. They inspire me every day to stand up for myself and what I believe in. To love others and the woman I was always meant to be.
