0:00.0	This episode of The Guilty Feminist is brought to you by Global Children's Charity Plan International UK and their winter appeal.
0:08.2	When I was a little girl, I loved going to school and learning.
0:12.6	And of course, school isn't always fun, but I really, really loved reading at home and doing my own little projects at home and creating stories and all sorts of
0:23.2	things that I now do for a living. I find it absolutely heartbreaking that so many girls around the
0:28.6	world don't get the same opportunity. Did you know that 40% of girls globally don't finish
0:34.9	secondary school? For millions of girls, poverty, war and discrimination
0:39.4	stand in the way of their right to learn. But despite the odds, girls are determined to stay in
0:45.1	school. They're defying the pressures of early marriage, sheltering from bombs to keep reading,

0:56.5	That's why Plan International UK is working to give every girl a chance to learn whatever
1:03.3	challenges they face, but they can't do it alone. Together we can match girls' determination and create

1:16.4	They work together with children, local communities, partners and supporters like you who believe a better future is possible.
1:24.1	With recent world events, I really couldn't think of a better course to support, and I am definitely
1:32.4	donating. Want to know how you can support? Search Plan International UK to find out how you can
1:38.7	help, because nothing changes the odds for a girl like an education does. This episode of The Guilty Feminist is brought to you by Ancestry.
1:48.1	As many of you may know, I'm adopted, and some years ago, I found my biological family.
1:53.9	Now, I did it the old-fashioned way with Facebook and Pinterest searches, but my very first
1:58.2	clue was through ancestry.
2:01.5	Now, this is a whole other level now.
2:04.5	Ancestry DNA offers a whole new approach to discovering the unique combination of ethnicities
2:09.5	that make up your genetic heritage.
