My name is Rachel Cohen and I am in my second year studying Political Science at the University of Toronto, Victoria College. I was born in Washington DC, though I grew up in Ottawa. Politics ran through my veins from the beginning, my parents were journalists that met on a provincial election campaign in the 80’s. I’ve always had a keen interest in social justice and government, so I hope this trip will teach me about these disciplines in a hands-on manner. I expect that the 2017 Fall U of T Women in House trip will inspire me to keep pushing through the glass ceiling in hopes of giving women my age the confidence to act, so that Canada will one day be, a truly equal society.
