I adore Emma Watson for playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series at the age of nine and her appointment as the United Nation Women Goodwill Ambassador fighting for gender equality. At the tender age of 24, no wonder this feminist is dubbed the “most flawless women of the decade”.
Watson became the foremost faces of feminism in the world because of one thing: Passion. She believes in the movement she stands for. This is reflected in her powerful speech for the HeForShe campaign. “In my nervousness for this speech and my moment of doubt, I have told myself firmly, If not me, who? If not now, when?” She added: “It is time we all see gender as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals.”
