The Who Needs Feminism? Tumblr (http://whoneedsfeminism.tumblr.com/) began as part of the final project for the students’ seminar course, Women in the Public Sphere. The only guideline was to focus on social change.

On Wednesday, 16 undergraduate students at Duke University launched Who Needs Feminism?, a campaign that encourages feminist and gender egalitarian discussion over social media.

The Tumblr features posters and statements from individuals explaining why feminism is important. Statements range from the personal to the global, including “I need feminism because it’s 2012 and only 3% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women,” and “I need feminism because I want to be respected, regardless of what I’m wearing.”
