  Feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They also argue that an effective feminist movement should be culturally specific and address issues relevant to the women of the society in question (eg, female genital cutting in Africa or the glass ceiling issue in developed economies), and debate the extent to which certain issues such as rape, incest and mothering are universal.
The feminist movement was rooted in the progressive movement and especially in the reform movement of the 19th century.
Feminists in most cases advance their desired use of language either to promote what they claim is an equal and respectful treatment of women or to affect the tone of political discourse.

 Emily's List Turns 20   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
When a group of Democratic, abortion-rights feminists founded Emily's List in 1985, their goal was to elect women to the U.S. Senate.
But in no small way, Emily's List fueled those women's political advancements, by building the machine that boosted pro-choice women Democrats - and also by inspiring the creation of dozens of like-minded and different-minded groups at the local, state and nation levels.
What made Emily's List such a force, campaign experts say, was its techniques for bundling, getting donors to give in a coordinated fashion to candidates it recommended.

targeted may provoke someone to create a list of "feminists" to be targeted, and that these lists may encourage extremists to engage in criminal acts or violence against the people on these lists.
To be blunt: I think your list on the government website is unethical, unprofessional, and an invitation to victimize people for their political views.
Your authors recommend that government data be "contextualized" or explained away, analyzed by accredited feminist researchers or suppressed, so that it does not fall into the hands of "masculinists".

 Feminists debate strategy
Men should take their own initiative and fight sexism, but always work in conjunction with the feminist movement -- or else there is a danger that they will actually work against it.
But it does not mean that feminists should not seek to mobilise men in the fight against sexism, nor that the women's liberation movement should not debate which way forward with other oppressed groups.
So be a feminist because we need to mobilise the majority of humanity against the system, not just scramble for the crumbs or join the structures that oppress women.

 Feminists I admire besides MacKinnon - Forum Directory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
I love her for her deconstruction of language and for naming the ills of patriarchy in a way that is accessible to a large audience of wimmin.
She was or is a psychologist as a matter of fact there was a core of women who were psychologists that were major part of starting the second wave.
For me, its also interesting the 'whys' certain feminist writers and contributors may have influence upon us, rather than others may. I surmise part of the reason may have to do with 'mindset', and the filtering that one does, either consciously or unconsciously, to meet our own values and needs.

How to subscribe to MEDFEM-L a discussion list for Medieval Feminists, with a list of outstanding medieval women.
The Wife of Bath, a literary figure familiar to most, will provide us with a bold and vivacious answer to the classical and medieval antifeminist traditions which depict women as the bane of Adam, the root of all evil, the source of temptation, or, at the opposite pole, as idealized and virginal objects of worship.
In her poetry and philosophical texts, she attacks courtly and clerkly traditions, particularly the anti-feminism of the Roman de la Rose and the Pauline doctrine that women are not to teach or speak in public.

 Aura Bogado's Letter to Not In Our Name
What is really disgusting about this is that Not In Our Names originated with feminists, during a meeting of feminists, and was quickly co-opted by Leftist anti-war men.
These feminists originated the campaign, and I wrote about this on the old Ms Boards, I guess, because I can't find it here, so frustrating-- a lot of the links and information aren't around anymore on the internet, that I can find.
On their main page they now post a greatly edited list of signatories which now includes almost no recognizable feminist leaders' names.
