Introduction

While most people say they believe in equal rights, the word "feminism"—America's new F-word—makes people uncomfortable.

Explore the history of US feminism through pioneers such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, and Gloria Steinem.

Modern Leaders

Meet modern leaders such as Rebecca Walker and Julie Zeilinger, who are striving to empower women at work, in government, at home—and in cultural and personal arenas.

Insights and Interviews

Learn from interviews with movement leaders, scholars, pop stars, and average women, what it means to be a feminist—or to reject it altogether.

Conclusion
