Definition:
Feminism can take many different forms, include many different ideas, and have many
different goals. However, the one basic characteristic of feminism which has been
important throughout its history has been the importance of achieving equal rights,
equal respect and equal opportunity for women in all aspects of society - political,
econcomic and social. Usually, feminism involves some sort of critique of what is
assumed to be or have been a dominant patriarchy in which women have been denied the
equality and respect they deserve.
