But it’s actually all the same.<\/p> Gloria Steinman, feminist, journalist, and founder of Ms. magazine.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n By encouraging young people to celebrate creative expression from all people, these schools are working towards a global future in which we value pieces of work and life achievements of female artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFemale creative expression in schools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
