So, when the discussion about not using the term feminist came up at a conference workshop, I couldn`t believe it. The more I listened, the more I felt the need to express my passion about my identity as a feminist.
It was critical to finding a way out. I had assumed young women knew the history of feminism and must have felt gratitude to the movement for the opportunities that the work we have done has afforded them.
I have never experienced racism in the feminist movement, so it concerned me to think that I was unable to see the subject clearly because I came from white, middle-class privilege.
