Journal entry:Feminism

I think in some ways Queen Elizabeth was a feminist in her time because I think she wanted to prove a point mainly that women can make a difference and also know how to rule a country without a mans help. And that England didn’t need a king by her side to make sure things were running smoothly. She basically handled things on her own and maybe that’s why people thought she was a feminist because of the simple fact she rejected marriage and a man’s love and help. Because the people were so used to that kind of living and she wanted to change that. At one point in time she was trying to bring men and women together because she wanted women to become equal with the men so that they weren’t treated any different. i wouldnt call her a feminst now because in some ways time has changed alot since then and people might have their own opinions about these types of situations. I think she was a feminist for certain reasons mainly to prove a point and to make a difference.
