the.com/feminism
The radical notion that women are people, still somehow radical.
means The belief that women deserve the same rights, opportunities, and respect as men, plus the movements organized around achieving that.
from From French féminisme, built from Latin femina ('woman') plus the -isme suffix used for ideologies and movements. The term spread through French political writing in the 1800s before entering English, where it attached itself to the growing push for women's suffrage and legal rights — the word arriving, fittingly, right alongside the organized fight it named.
