A dear friend of mine, Marty Nash, e-mailed me her definition of feminism:

Marty:
>When I was 23 my definition of a feminist was one who believed in
>women's equality and was ready to work for it.

>Today My definition is one who believes women hold up half the sky in a
>very special way. Although both men and women can develop their yin and
>yang powers, women have a special intuitiveness, and the ultimate
>creativity. A feminist will value these qualities, see them as beautiful
>and will help other women to value them also. She will walk proudly and
>know she is beautiful. She will not accept the value the patriachy
>places on women. Through her eyes the men around her will begin to see
>this also.
