From the Staford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:

Feminism is both an intellectual commitment and a political movement that seeks justice for women and the end of sexism in all forms. However, there are many different kinds of feminism. Feminists disagree about what sexism consists in, and what exactly ought to be done about it; they disagree about what it means to be a woman or a man and what social and political implications gender has or should have. Nonetheless, motivated by the quest for social justice, feminist inquiry provides a wide range of perspectives on social, cultural, and political phenomena. Important topics for feminist theory and politics include: the body, class and work, disability, the family, globalization, human rights, popular culture, race and racism, reproduction, science, the self, sex work, and sexuality. 

Does that about cover it? Do we all agree on one (!) definition of feminism? It's pretty comprehensive. But it doesn't sound very much like what we did in this class, so I would just like to say I took a lot more away from this class than I could've from a textbook. Thank you all, I learned a lot from you.

A post-performance note: Maybe we can agree on a definition of feminism, just not its application in the real world of particulars and contradictions?
