In the article, “What’s in a Name?’ On Writing the History of Feminism” by Claire Goldberg Moses focuses on the history of the term “feminism” throughout the 19th century and dives deeper into how the term “feminism” and its movement has changed and matured over time into the 21st century. Claire takes us through a timeline that further informs us on how the powerful actions of women throughout history flourished into the term “feminism”, actions like, fighting for equal rights, fighting for the right to vote, fighting for equality in work environments, and fighting the overall stereotypes and preset gender roles that put women into what I can best describe as a box. Throughout the article, Clare mentions how since the 1990s her undergraduate students for the most part, declined to call themselves feminists although they agreed with all that feminism stands, for example, when Claire asked her students if they believed that women and men should be treated equally in the law, they all strongly agreed. However, Claire’s students did not like being called feminists because they disliked and rejected the stereotypical ideology there is and has been for people labeled feminists. Throughout movies or TV shows, the distorted version of feminism has become increasingly common to not only exist but be reenacted in various forms. These versions of feminists were looked upon as evil, bitter, and just simply strong and proud women. Therefore, the students were a hundred percent feminists in every way however they did not want to be labeled or seen as the distorted version of feminism as they felt as though it did not relate or pertain to them. An important question Claire raises to us in the article states, “does it matter how we name ourselves? After all, the struggle for women’s equality could continue by a multitude of other names. I’d like to suggest it does matter. It matters because our history matters. It matters because those who distort our history are not motivated by a concern for women’s equality.” This question and reasoning Claire states is essential to not only acknowledge but truly understand the why behind it. The word feminism and the history behind it was not an easy road to travel and still isn’t, therefore, it’s imperative to rid of the distorted version of feminism and stereotyped ideology of a feminist. It is also imperative to educate those who believe these distorted versions of those who know nothing about feminism or what it is to be a feminist.
