Class Quote by Emma Watson
“Hindsight is obviously a very great thing, but I'm always convinced that the reason that I didn't take as many politics or history classes is because I just didn't see any women. I didn't think when I was 13, 14 that that had anything to do with me. I just didn't see women in my textbooks.”

![“Yeah, it was horrible! I mean really horrible. I felt incredibly awkward. It was not something I was [looking forward to]. I don't know, but it looked good. We somehow managed to make it look realistic. I was proud of myself that I managed to power through and be professional.” quote by Emma Watson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/53b/emma-watson-1023_awkward_yeah-it-was-horrible-i-mean-really-horri_27410.jpg)
