Eastman makes it clear to her readers, that no matter the stance a woman takes on the women’s rights movement, a true feminist will always fight for what she believes in with courage and strength.

Instantaneously, I felt a sense of relief because I too am a young professional who is struggling to find her way.
Freedom Writers From the moment that I saw Mrs. Gruell, she was an outstanding teacher. The reasons why she was the astounding teacher she turned out to be is because she came into her teaching career with high expectations, also she had a very positive attitude with her students even when they didn’t believe in themselves.
