Lena Dunham: Activism & Social Responsibility
LENA: "All these women are also passionate activists, which isn't always easy when you're a public figure. Particularly one who's expected to look nice, say her lines well, and shut the heck up....But don't we as public figures have a social responsibility to use our platform to listen, to amplify, and to speak out when we see injustice? It may not always be easy. Look at Jean Seberg whose support of the Black Panthers in the 1960s led the F.B.I. to request that she be neutralized. But today I'm proud to speak with women who are not afraid to take a stand—for everything from education reform to fighting censorship in their home countries and misconceptions about disease. Women who are eager to use their gifts and their reach to make a difference in their communities and in the world."
