RI NOW wants to honor and reward their ideas, and help develop the next generation of feminists. We are thrilled to announce our first essay and art contest open to middle and high school students in Rhode Island,” writes RI NOW in their press release.

The Essay Contest

For the essay contest, students are asked to write about what feminism means to them, or if they could change any law in order to protect women’s rights, what would it be?

The essay should not exceed 750 words and only one entry per student may be submitted.
