I'm new to feminism-some advice?

[LadyOfTheManor]

Hello,
I am studying English lit (phd) and the theme of "feminism" has crept up into some literature. Tbh I'm trying to get my head around it-there is an AIBU thread but it's a little over my head.

From what I gather, feminism is about being treated equally to men-as human beings-and the freedom of choice...?

Is that the underlying concept?

She is a divisive figure but her writings are concerned with feminist subjects.

Oh OK.
