Hello! My name is Emma Shachat and I am a rising sophomore at Wheaton College in Massachussets. While I have not yet declared my major(s), I have always been incredibly interested in feminism, women's issues, and social justice, and writing is one of the ways through which I am able to project my voice, ideas, and experiences.

This blog is a part of an internship I am currently doing with the Red Web Foundation.
