FEMINISM AND FEMINIST THEORIES

Rebecca West famously wrote "What is feminism?" Answered this question. Retorting, "I've never been able to figure out what feminism is for me; all I know is that people call me a feminist when I express sentiments that separate me from the door frame." Feminism is a concept that takes many different forms, and the definition of what "feminism" is depends on the political and philosophical stance of the person defining the term. However, in general, feminism is concerned with achieving equal political and social rights for women, as well as eliminating sexism. Different philosophies of feminism include ecofeminism, Marxist feminism, radical feminism, and more.
