What does it mean to be a feminist?

Bianca Brooks has grappled with the meaning of feminism in high school. She heard some teachers disparage housewives (and Beyónce!) labeled de facto non-feminists. But she kept working to find the definition that worked for her. "My favorite teacher later said to me, 'Feminism is essentially about dignity.' She explained that being a strong woman isn’t enough. I must also empower other women to be themselves–without judgement." Listen to her commentary on Youth Radio.
