Kavita Ramdas : Radical women, embracing tradition


Kavita Ramdas at TEDIndia 2009  (transcript)
Radical women, embracing tradition
Summary
The article really made me worried because I've probably understood this. In the past, l laughed at the story of Chimamanda Adichie. She’s Nigerian and lives in Nigeria where women struggle for their rights that are thought to have only men, though, she thinks that she wants to happily marry a man. I couldn't think of.
However, the speaker tells us that there is not a single story of women's struggles for their rights, there are many stories and women, even men, are doing the preserving traditions and radicalizing. We are always in a paradoxical world which doesn't have the line between solved and unsolved arias.
This is because feminism that is against a deeply held set of beliefs and assumptions that we, women, hold ourselves. Human must have great traditions in each country and we are changing with it little by little.
