Edinburgh Castle, in Edinburgh, Scotland, has always caught my eyes because of its beauty, elegance, and rich history that it holds.

The topics range from sexual harassment at work to normal day-to-day battles. Furthermore, Penni Mitchell explains that today’s feminist media “is not simply to get information out there, but to distil, condense, and synthesize it in well-written articles” (Mitchell 58).
