This class opened my mind

This class opened my mind more to the idea of different definitions of feminism.  I believe most of the class has struggled with the idea that there is no one definition of feminism, but this day in class in particular, seemed to show me that was okay and it works out for the best that way.  People in different countries have different things to fit for, different needs they need feminism to fulfill.  We in America may have rights that feminists in Iraq are striving to achieve.  Also people of different ethincities, races, and religions, need feminism to be different things.  Orthodox Jewish women may be fine with the rights they have, so we shouldn't try to impose what rights we think they should have upon them.
