Alysa Liu on what feminism means to her and her:
"Equal opportunities, equal chances, equal rights, equal pay. It’s not about lowering men; it’s about uplifting women."
"Some people view [feminism] as a negative thing because they think it’s about trying to bring men down. But it’s actually about uplifting women.”
"Being treated the same. Viewed the same. It sounds like a dream, actually.”
“I hope to inspire other girls to stay confident in themselves and to know that they can do anything they want to do. There really are no limits.”
