THIS IS SO AMAAAAAAZING

In 1964, Lesley Gore first sang ‘You Don’t Own Me’ and a feminist song was born. It’s still resonating today, with the US elections quickly approaching.

“Women, let’s rise up. Our vote alone can win this election. A vote for Obama is a vote for your health and your right to choose. It is a vote for equal pay and equal rights. A vote for Obama is a vote for our families. It is a vote to marry who you choose. It’s a vote to start a family when you choose. A vote for Obama says that we won’t stand for violence against women and that rape is rape. Our vote ensures that our daughters will grow up with the same rights that we’ve had. A vote for Obama sends a message: This war on women must end. We will not go backwards.”
