Mentions of Emma Watson in the media [Dec 28 - Jan 3, 2016]




Watson’s views on the subject of gender equality may not be at the cutting edge of radical thought. And the UN goodwill ambassador’s other identity as a high-fashion wearing, photocall-posing, red-carpet glamour icon troubles some. But for the cause of mainstreaming feminism and enlightened attitudes to gender, she has achieved far more than anyone would have expected of a former child star. “I think it is right that women be involved, on my behalf, in the policies and the decisions that will affect my life,” the 25-year-old actor told the UN last year. “It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum, not as two opposing sets of ideals.”
