Los Angeles Aug 22 (IANS) 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 " nytimes.com quoted Woodley as saying.
Woodley -- who earned an Emmy nomination for Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for her character Jane Chapman in "Big Little Lies" which will air in India on Star World and Star World HD from September 25 -- says 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.
"We need more softness and more silence and more pause through the chaos " she said.
