Actress Shailene Woodley, who calls herself a
feminist, says she doesn’t rule out the idea of
running for political office.
“There was a point last year when I was working for Bernie Sanders where I thought, ‘Huh, maybe I’ll run for Congress in a couple years. And you know what? I’m not going to rule it out. Who knows? Life is big, and I’m young,” Woodley said.
Woodley – who earned an Emmy nomination for Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for her character Jane Chapman in Big Little Lies, said there is need for “more softness, more silence and more pause” through the chaos around feminism at the moment.
“I would today consider myself a feminist. If females start working through the false narrative of jealousy and insecurity fed through a patriarchal society, then not only will we have more women feeling confident in themselves and supportive of one another, but we will start introducing a type of matriarchy, which is what this world needs.”
