International Women's Day 2016

Hello!

Last year I made a blog post for International Women's Day on women who continuously inspire me in daily life! Here is a link to that if you fancy a look!

This year, I'm going to mix it up a bit, and talk about some fictional inspirational women!!




Agent Peggy Carter

I adore Peggy so much. Being a woman in the 1940's was not easy, especially in a male dominated industry, but wasn't everything then? And now, sadly.

Peggy is consistently underestimated because she's a woman, but time and time again she proves herself more useful to the war effort than most of the men.

After the war, Peggy works for the SSR, in which many of the other agents decide the only reason she is there is due to being 'Captain America's girlfriend', not due to the truth of her being part of the reason WWII ended when it did.

Peggy faces endless trials, but takes advantage of the fact she is underestimated by most men, something which they soon learn to be a grave mistake.

She also is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. Peggy is the best.

Why you should care about Agent Carter




Agent Carter is finally coming to the UK, here's a little intro and why you should give a shit about this.

If you don't know, Agent Carter centres around Agent Peggy Carter, who assisted to end the war with people such as Captain America, settles into a post-war life in New York city, working for the S.S.R. And despite being so incredibly important in ending the war, Peggy is put down constantly for being a woman. Her achievements in the war are boiled down to a love affair with Captain America by most. And her daily routine has shifted from saving lives and kicking Nazi ass to collecting the lunch orders of all the men in the office. And obviously, Peggy is unsatisfied with that and goes and kicks ass.

Inspirational Women

Yesterday was International Women's Day, and thus I decided to tweet out pictures of a few women who are extremely inspirational.

This was actually retweeted by one of the women featured, Rosie, better known as Roxeterawr. And it ended up causing my notifications to go mental for a long time.

Here are just a few of the women who inspire me everyday:

Emma Watson


I've always admired Emma Watson for crushing it as Hermione Granger, and also for doing better than me in her A Levels whilst FILMING HARRY POTTER!

Her philanthropic work, especially in the UN, and creating heforshe  and her fight for equal rights for women, are few of the reasons why I find her so incredibly inspiration.
