Defining Feminism

 

In a recent roundtable discussion with the Washington Post’s Anne Kornblut, author of  Notes from the Cracked Ceiling: Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and What It Will Take for a Woman to Win, former White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers, former McCain-Palin adviser Nicolle Wallace and syndicated newspaper columnist Kathleen Parker discussed the evolving meaning of feminism.


Check out this video of the discussion.


The talk raised important questions for me:


Must feminism include reproductive rights? 


Do many GeorgiaMae readers consider themselves feminists? If not, is it because you perceive feminism as an ideology that’s intolerant of your personal beliefs?


Does having several different models or meanings of feminism weaken the movement?
