“‘What’s in a Name?’ On Writing the History of Feminism” (2012) by Claire Goldberg Moses was an interesting piece to read. It allowed me to have new thoughts on “feminism” and the various movements that have promoted awareness towards women’s rights. I loves how the author writes that feminism has not one definition, but can be defined in several manners due to the collectives involved in that specific movement. The author encourages us to focus less on the label/term and using the right word to name what this movement entails, and instead promotes us to focus on the history of feminism and what it has brought about in our society. I feel like we often do get lost in trying to narrow everything down to a specific name and then take it so literally that we look down on other groups who may practice or interpret this differently than us. Furthermore, I feel as if trying to agree on what it means to be a feminist only creates more separation in our society, furthers the oppression on some groups, and takes away from the true essence and purpose of the advocation for women’s rights. For example, in the second wave of feminism, women of color fought for more rights to be included by white women. You would think that feminism would entail rights for all women, but it was mostly dominated why white women who wanted to be equal to their white husbands.
