Evidence

Feminism is an ideology in the making. According to the Oxford English Dictionary the term “feminism” was first used in the latter part of the 19th century and it was defined as having the “qualities of females.” The meaning of the term has been gradually transformed and the 20th century dictionary definition of feminism is a “theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.” — bell hooks, Ain’t I a Woman_ Black Women and…, 560 (#expands, via linked claim)
