Abstract
Feminism today is a universal movement touching every aspect of politics and daily life. In its broadest definition, feminism includes women and men who advocate pro-woman issues in governments, political parties, trade unions, schools, universities and the mass media, as well as socialist groups, radical separatists, consciousness-raising groups, peace campaigners and women’s centre volunteers.
