Liberal Feminism

Our book, Feminist Thought is not an easy read.  To read a chapter is long and confusing because they introduce people, eras, and ideas.  The conclusions can be persuasive and lack a definition.  I want to define the types of feminism outlined in the book as I can understand out of the book and research.  The first chapter is liberal feminism.  Tong says it used to be critisized as a white woman's movement.  She says it now encompasses all people.  Summarized, I think a liberal feminist would believe all women can assert themselves to get equality in the society that already exists.
