Do women today embrace feminism the way they used to?

I think that feminism still exists today, but compared to feminism in the 1970's and before things are much different. In class when we were talking about feminism, the discussion consisted of women's rights, especially voting, along with their involvement in the workforce. The women of that time were attempting to prove themselves and establish themselves as equal to men by gaining the right to vote and taking jobs not usually occupied by women. Nowadays, the issues of feminism as we read in the reading for Tuesday's class have shifted from rights for women to body image. While I do feel as though feminism is an important issue I also feel like the fight for feminism isn't as prominent as it once was. With that being said, body image and the way women look is definitely a part of the "new" feminism. To answer the question do young women today embrace feminism the way they used to? in one word, no. As a young women, the thought of feminism and the issues that go along with it truly never cross my mind unless I am learning about it and discussing it in a class such as this one. I do feel that body image is an issue that needs to be addressed because it is beginning to take over the lives of women of all ages. But, the women I have interacted with don't seem ready to run full speed ahead with this issue. Which is much different from the way it was during the 1970's and before.
