    Description
    A challenge to the popular belief that feminism equals male bashing. Explores various definitions of feminism, the different ways women, men, and non-binary individuals have conceptualized what it means to be a feminist, and how the concept of gender is used to critique society. Focus is on the long history of feminism in the United States, the contributions of feminist thought to understanding relations of power and privilege; analyses of the origins and operation of gender inequality; the intersection of gender with other categories of power and hierarchy such as race, ethnicity, and class; and feminist contributions to social protests and movements for change.
