Women are not dangerous...but they can be

The Dangerous Women Project exists as an initiative of the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, at the University of Edinburgh. Basically, this project is in favor of the women around the world who think that they can make a difference, or show anyone who doubts them just how strong and powerful women can really be, as well as show them different ways that history has portrayed them.
The Project asks: "What does it mean to be a 'dangerous woman?'"
Some historical periods paint women (collectively, or individually) as dangerous people that existed in multiple cultures, and areas of contemporary life.
"Each daily Dangerous Women Project post will explore, examine or critique the ‘dangerous women’ theme by inviting reflections from women of diverse backgrounds and identities, including poets, playwrights and other creative writers, academics, journalists, commentators, artists, performers and opinion formers, and indeed anyone with an angle on the theme. All views expressed in the Dangerous Women Project’s daily posts are therefore the views of the individual author, not of the Institute or the University."
This organization and movement holds many events that people can check out and attend if they would like to stand with the movement as well, and each event has a different theme, where different topics will be discussed and deliberated.
