Do women today embrace feminism in the same way that women of yesteryear did?
Yes, I believe that the women of today do still embrace feminism and all that it stands for, but I also feel that they have changed the way they approach feminist issues. Feminist have come very far in obtaining equality between men and women, but there is still work to be done. The feminists from the 70's and before had a lot more difficult challenges that they were facing, almost starting from square one on women's rights, so they may have come off as more extreme than the feminists of today whose challenges are still as important, may not need as extreme of measures as in the past. The women of today still embrace feminism in many different ways and I feel one of the more powerful methods is through learning to embrace our bodies and branching out our talents into fields that may have been dominated by men in the past in order to show what women are truly capable of and gaining more self confidence. Women's rights and feminism are just as important today as ever although these women may be taking a more subtle approach to gaining true equality.
