Views on feminism from around the world.

Brazil made an excellent choice having MC Soffia perform; you may remember the 12-year-old rapper for her poignant lyrics touching on slavery and racism in Brazil.

And to end on a high note, congrats to the U.S. gymnastics team for their gold-medal performance today!
