What is feminism? Generally speaking - ✔✔✔Generally speaking feminism is a political movement and
ideology that aims to advance the social role of women.
... - ✔✔✔However this is rather vague, and with reason because feminism is actually harder to put into
a constrictive definition than I thought it was when I volunteered to do this slide.
Rosalind Delmar's definition - ✔✔✔helps, in her eyes "at the very least a feminist is someone who
holds that women suffer discrimination because of their sex, that they have specific needs which remain
unsatisfied, and that the satisfaction of these needs would require a radical change in the social,
economic, and political order."

at the root of feminism, such as equality and difference theories, or to broader issues like equal pay,
discrimination, or domestic division of labour
