Much of the early feminist movements were anti-male, for at that period men were superior in all the spheres of life except for housekeeping, which led to females standing up against such convention and pushed feminism development. The major problem, she assumes, is sexism, which most people do not consider to be trouble at all. Unlike many other feminist activists, she does not consider men as enemies.

The book is divided into pieces, each dedicated to a certain sphere of life that feminists face.įirstly, the author refers to feminist politics. Her idea is that of a world without dominance, with equal people who are happy to be themselves. The lady shares her way to feminism and introduces her views. She is free to the conversations and ready for a dispute with people who have a vague idea of feminism but are eager to listen and learn. If we ask for a definition of feminism, it is a sound thought to address Bell Hooks and her earlier book ‘Feminist Theory: from Margin to Center.’ There she states that “feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploration and oppression” ( Feminist Theory 1).īell Hooks represents herself as a proud adherer of feminists’ beliefs. Not many people remember that in fact, it deals with the fight for equal rights. Popular feminism is about women who desire to be like men. There are plenty of stereotypes concerning feminism.
