“Women and Gender Studies at Westminster was an enjoyable and infuriating experience because this realm of study inevitably forces you to confront the way our societies have, time and time again, marginalized and ignored a large portion of the population. It was inspiring to learn the creative methods these dismissed individuals employed in order to be heard in a world that strives to silence them at every turn.”
