Sophie’s middle school censored her “feminist” shirt in the class photo, so now she’s fighting back 

The choice to identify as a feminist in middle school is pretty remarkable. It can also inspire backlash, which one eighth-grader in Batavia, Ohio experienced firsthand.

This student, identified as “Sophie” on Women You Should Know, wore a shirt bearing the word “feminist” the day her class photo was taken. Though the shirt doesn’t violate the school’s dress code, it was deemed potentially controversial.

But she isn’t backing down. In fact, she’s doing the opposite.
