Movie I love, Erin Brockovich, starring Julia Roberts as the one and only Erin Brockovich. The reason why I loved law & became infatuated with justice.
Because yes, one woman can make a difference. “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” said Mahatma Gandhi, and to be is to become, and to become is to do. The infamously vertically challenged Napoleon claims he came, he saw, he conquered. How very poetic, but Voltaire would have been quick to point out that conquering just wasn’t enough. One must seduce—and Erin Brockovich did with equal parts persuasion and strength. She thought, she fought, and she won.

you rock <3 so does Erin Brockovich… I think I'm a feminist
Thanks babe, you too! (;
And I used to preface EVERYTHING I said with “I’m not a feminist, BUT…” before speaking my mind, which, in hindsight, was essentially discrediting my own opinions. New “but” clause, starting this year: I AM A FEMINIST! And proud! Woo!
I actually watched the movie in a class in Uni, in Law theory 🙂
So good! I live for these kind of movies; less “Friends With Benefits” (or some spinoff of that idea) and more of these! Inspire the youth!
P.S.: I think you would totally love this documentary, “Street Fight.” The inspiring and enlightening story of Cory Booker through seriously AMAZING journalism.
