Feminism vs. Womanism
Content: The NOW, National Organization for Women, helped work for equality in areas such as education, politics, and work. The founder Betty Friedan wrote a book, The Feminine Mystique, which describes the frustration women were feeling then. Women have been feeling frustration for years and even feel it now. Feminism to some people has become a scapegoat for their problems. This should not be the case. It has been proven through numerous polls that women felt that Feminist activities have helped better the lives for women not hinder. Women for decades have called themselves Feminist as a way of empowerment and lifting them up in the world. It is believed this whole issue of blaming feminism was a way for men to make women think that their own efforts were causing them the problem. Thank goodness there were some women out there who did not believe this and continued the fight for our rights. Luckily today people have come so far and now feminism stands for the equality of women or men.
