Emma Watson

Where had it all gone wrong?

That was the question that Emma Watson had been asking herself several months now. The British actress clearly remembered skyrocketing to fame when she'd been chosen for the role of Hermione Granger for the film adaptation of the cultural phenomenon that was the Harry Potter series. It was a game changer for her. Ever since that first movie came out she had been used to being one of the most recognized names in the entertainment industry. Fame followed her everywhere, and once the series ended, she had offers from every conceivable studio, big or small. She was at the top of the world.

Thankfully, she still had a head on her shoulders unlike so many of her peers, and she made the decision to distance herself from her fame to go get a college education. During that time, she came to know of the evils of men and the patriarchy, the way the opposite sex controlled women with money and power. She considered it a long overdue justice to bring down this cultural institution and now used her fame to reach toward that goal. Thankfully, many young female celebrities later joined her in this struggle, and she soon the the support of the United Nations and Hollywood in her fight. Using her new ideology combined with her star power, she relaunched her career succesfully with a "The Beauty and the Beast". Finally, the barriers were being broken!

Then came her fall. She should have known her feminist cause would have a hurdle, and yet it still came out as a surprise when the following movies she starred in did not perform to the desire she wished. Soon enough the offers started to dry up, both in Hollywood and feminist institutions. For some reason or another, calls just... stopped. As if some invisible hand decided that the journey was over for her.

That was, until last week, when she recieved an anonymous e-mail inviting her to a group that wish to start a feminist organization. It was still in the planning stages and had no name, but they were offering good pay and a chance to take her ideas back to the forefront of discussion.

As she stepped into the cab, she thought of all the good things the future held for her.
