Feminism is not dead, by no means.

Feminism was the water I grew up in.

Once, when my daughter Paula was in her twenties, she said to me that feminism was dated, that I should move on.

Feminism has never been sexy, but let me assure you that it never stopped me from flirting, and I have seldom suffered from lack of men.

But, while some Western feminist insights may be useful to Afghani women and other women in the developing world as they resist certain forms of male oppression, we should not assume as Western feminists often have that our job is to proselytize our feminism.

All three were powerful prime ministers of their countries, though perhaps not the epitome of what might be regarded as feminine values. They all outdid men at their own game and had little time for what came to be called feminism.

If in the Islamic Revolution, the images of the woman portrayed were submissive and didn't have a voice, now we saw a new idea of feminism in the streets of Tehran women who were educated, forward thinking, non traditional, sexually open, fearless and seriously feminist.
