hospital; just as he's about to go under the
knife, the surgeon says, "I can't operate--that

What is Feminism?
Feminist theory, or feminism, is support of
equality for women and men. Although all
feminists strive for gender equality, there are
various ways to approach this theory, including
liberal feminism, socialist feminism and radical
feminism. Let's take a look at the basic feminist
ideas and various approaches to achieving
gender equality.
Basic Feminist
Ideas
Both females and males who identify
themselves as feminists disagree on
many things. That being said, most
feminists agree on five basic
principles:
●
Working to increase equality:
Feminist thought links ideas to
action, insisting we should push
for change toward gender
equality and not just talk about
it.
Basic Feminist Ideas
●
●
●
Expanding human choice: Feminists believe
that both men and women should have the
freedom to develop their human interests and
talents, even if those interests and talents
conflict with the status quo. For example, if a
woman wants to be a mechanic, she should
have the right and opportunity to do so.
Eliminating gender stratification: Feminists
oppose laws and cultural norms that limit
income, educational and job opportunities for
women.
Ending sexual violence & promoting sexual
freedom: Feminists feel that women should
have control over their sexuality and
reproduction.

TYPES of
FEMINISM
*Abolitionist *Liberal * Cultural
* Radical *Socialist
*Black *Eco-Feminism *Global
First Wave Abolitionists
First-wave feminism had a fairly simple goal: have society recognize that
women are humans, not property. While the leaders of 1st-wave feminism
were abolitionists, their focus was on white women’s rights.
Liberal Feminism
This kind of feminism works within the structure of
mainstream society to integrate women into it and make it
more responsive to individual women’s rights, but does
not directly challenge the system itself or the ideology
behind women’s oppression. The suffragist movement is
an example.
Cultural Feminism
●
●
●
Cultural feminism emphasizes
essential differences between men
and women in terms of biology,
personality and behavior.
Women are seen to have different
and superior virtues that provide the
foundation for a shared identity,
solidarity and sisterhood.
Since by nature women are viewed
as kinder and gentler than men, it
follows that if women were in power,
the world would be a better place. In
the 1960s and 70s, some women
supported the idea of forming
separate women-only cultures.
Radical
Feminism
●
Radical feminism
views patriarchy and
sexism as the most
elemental factor in
women’s oppression
– cutting across all
others from race
and age to culture,
caste and class. It
questions the very
system and ideology
behind women’s
subjugation.
Radical
Feminism
●
●
The term often refers to the
women’s movements emerging
from the civil rights, peace and
other liberation movements at a
time when people increasingly were
questioning different forms of
oppression and power.
Radical feminists, seeking to
understand the roots of women’s
subordination, have provided the
major theoretical understanding that
has served as the basis for the
inspiration and analysis guiding
women’s movements around the
world.
Socialist
Feminism
●
●
Marxist and Socialist Feminism:
Feminists, grounded in Marxist and
socialist analysis, attribute women’s
oppression principally to the
capitalist economic system where
global corporate power prevails.
Many other feminists believe that
this form of power seen in the class
system is a crucial factor in
women’s subordination but see
patriarchy as the major force behind
women’s subjugation.
Black Feminism
Black Feminism: School of thought which argues that
sexism, class oppression, gender identity and racism are
inextricably bound together The way these concepts relate
to each other is called intersectionality.
Global
Feminism
● Transnational or Global Feminism: This
approach to feminism is concerned
mainly about how globalization and
capitalism affect people across
nationalities, races, ethnicities, genders,
classes, and sexualities and has
reinforced a range of global movements.
● It recognizes inequalities across different
groups of women and the importance of
intersectionality as a way to understand
and engage difference.
Global Feminism
●
●
While global issues do not affect
women in the same way because of
these differences, the impact of
these issues and power dynamics
are seen to be crucial to feminist
social justice agendas.
This vision understands the need for
comprehensive approaches that
integrate multiple issues and
movements to find common cause
across agendas to ensure long-term
social transformation.
