Name: Kendall Connolly
Year in school: Freshman
Majors and minors: Major in Nursing, Minor in Gender and Women’s Studies
Hometown: Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ
Favorite place you’ve ever traveled to: Puerto Rico
Favorite GWS class: Since I am only a freshman, I have not taken a course yet but I
am looking forward to taking Gender in the World during my Spring semester of
2016.
Why do you study GWS/why is it important to you?
I study GWS because I want to represent my gender in the fight for equal
rights. Being a woman means being strong, not emotional, it means being
passionate and powerful, not dramatic and weak. In today's society, women are
masculinized whereas men are not feminized. I want to be able to be a woman and
not have to be compared to a man, and because of that, I strive to educate
myself to the best of my ability about gender and women's studies.
