The author

A feminist in training.

I’m heavily dedicated to my studies and hope to further my knowledge in Sociology, social Anthropology and Politics. This blog is a place for me to explore my passion of learning and develop my ideas to then share with the world. I’m also a very a smiley and freckly person!

The blog is called “the other” as a homage to de Beauvoir’s text “The Second Sex” where she identified that women were others in society. Nearly 80 years later, this label has been applied to numerous groups globally. Similarly to the Suffragettes, who adopted the negative label and spun it into something inspiring, this blog is called the other to turn a negative label and feeling into something positive.

Check out the other’s instagram- @the.otherblog I post about blogs, activism and feminism in general- it is a great place to contact me and engage within important discussions and debates.
