So, I'm very curious about what feminism means to people here, and where
it comes from in your life, where it takes you. But I'm not sure if it's
appropriate, being only half-relevant to the list.
Susan,
For me, feminism is, "the principle that women should have
political, economic, and social rights equal to those of men" (New World
Dictionary of the American Language, Second Edition). As for where it
comes from: I'm a very bottom-line person and this is the bottom line for
me. It was like, "Duhhh. Taht's just common sense--or should be."
Where's it take me? In my SF, it (among other things) had led me
to portray women as equal to men in the ways described above.
