Emma Watson Just Gave a Young

Woman the Most Wonderful Advice
Ever
By Sophie Kleeman January 28, 2015

Every time we think Emma Watson can't get more amazing, she
proves us gloriously, wonderfully wrong.
The Harry Potter actress, who this week was cast as Belle in
Disney's live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, is also
a humanitarian and feminist advocate. In July 2014, she became a
U.N. Goodwill Ambassador working on the HeForShe campaign, and
in September, she gave a rousing speech at the U.N. highlighting
the importance of gender equality and the power of feminism.
Not content to keep her message confined to the U.N.'s stage,
Watson recently took to Twitter with a message about gender
equality. While promoting the HeForShe campaign, she answered
questions and stemmed the worries of young women like her.
But she saved her best and sassiest response for a young
woman who asked for advice on what to do about her father, who
told her that engineering was a "men profession."
Her reply? "Become an engineer."

She didn't stop there, however. Ranging from marriage to careers to

military service, the questions touched on various issues. Her
resulting words were practical, as well as inspiring, and ran the
gamut from personal advice to more generalized wisdom for the
world at large.
Bravo, Emma.
