Thanks, Svetlana, for your thoughts here. I appreciate your perspective very much. In my title, I try to show that I’m choosing to define feminism my own way — not necessarily the way that all previous feminists would describe it. That being said, I like how you bring these quotes and facts into your response to show how feminism has at times raged against the stay-at-home-mom. It’s enlightening and good to know. I hope that feminism truly can evolve into acceptance and celebration of all women choosing whatever path it is that makes them happy…whether that be out in the workforce or at home. Thanks again. -Kristen
