What is a Feminist?: Self Identification and Feminism
Abstract
This paper looks at the way that people, women in particular, are choosing to identify or not identify in the third wave of feminism. This literature review looked at different sources to explore what it means to be a feminist, what self-identification is and why it is important, and how self-identification has shaped the latest wave of feminism. This paper begins to explore why people are choosing to embrace or abandon the label of “feminist” and what it allows the third wave of feminism to do—seeking to help answer the question of whether or not the term “feminist” is even needed in this day and age.
