Reasons for talking about her)/Conclusion

Despite public condemnation and hate of feminism, she promoted her belief of it and presented it in a different way. This has taught me that not everyone will like my ideas or initiatives at first but if I want to succeed I must avoid all sidewalks and discouragement or even hate from people and keep moving. She also has a unique way of making readers go crazy with her writing and also a peculiar way of driving her points home,Lesson: communication can also determine the failure or success of a business.
