On 31 December, died Hoff Geraldine Doyle, the workers have become icons of the feminist movement here in the picture that inspired his famous manifesto.
The purpose with which I was initially conceived, the will of the Coordinating Committee of the American war production, was to encourage women to work to support the war effort.
Only then in the eighties, it became an emblem of pop feminist struggle and it was only in those that same year Geraldine, leafing through a magazine for the event, recognized herself in the face portrait in that manifesto.
His death, at the very end of the year just ended, there seems to be an even stronger meaning. His almost-unconscious-legacy, and together with that of all women who have chosen to fight, spurs us to report daily to the strong sense that "we can do it!" in our lives and in our paths.
Unlike the empty slogan Obama "Yes we can", "WE CAN DO IT!" has represented and still represents the approach that is charged during the war against Nazi-fascism as well as in factories. In the same way we choose to do so within our university, opting against the attacks on our self-determination, against the entry of the Movement for Life in the clinics and against all forms of sexism.

Our promise to fight for this new year is to be there, safe in the knowledge that, really, we can do it!
