Rebecca West famously answered the question "What is feminism?" by responding, "I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat." (Philosophy of Education: An Encyclopedia)
Feminism is a concept that takes many different forms, and definitions of what constitutes "Feminism" vary depending on the political and philosophical attitude of the person defining the term. In general, however, feminism is concerned with the achievement of equal political and social rights for women as well as the elimination of sexism. Different philosophies of feminism include ecofeminism, Marxist feminism, radical feminism, and more.
