Why You're Not a Feminist | Sam Pérez | TEDxSantaClaraUniversity

After engaging in many a contentious discussion involving increasingly different perceptions of what this movement is, Sam Pérez—a fourth year Political Science and English student at Santa Clara University—explores what it truly means to be a feminist today.  A Political Science and English double major with a Philosophy minor hailing from San Francisco, Sam is ready to explore all things feminism during her TEDx talk! After engaging in many a contentious discussion involving increasingly different perceptions of what this movement is, Sam is excited to explore what it truly means to be a feminist today. When she isn’t talking feminism, Sam is probably raving about the importance of Student Government, on which she has had the honor of serving as Student Body President this year, or motivating herself to crack open an LSAT prep book (we’ll get there). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
