Feminist Art
Art is the most basic form of visual communication because it is readily understood by the people seeing it. Thus feminist art has a direct and immediate impact on people and the ability to influence minds. In a world inundated with advertising selling sex feminist art takes a stand for women's rights and freedom of choice.

Feminist Authors/Poets
Writers like Virginia Woolf and poets like Hattie Gossett use words to communicate a feminist message. The beauty of words is that they're so easily reproduced, making it a more efficient way of spreading knowledge about the rights of women.

Feminist Leaders
Will there ever be a female president of the USA? Some day. But will she be pro-feminist like Hillary Clinton? Or an anti-feminist like Sarah Palin. Don't think for a second that all women in politics are feminists. Many are there pushing their own agenda and that agenda may have little to do with women's rights.

Feminist Music
Listen closely to the lyrics and you realize that there is a lot of feminist music out there, sometimes disguised as pop music. You don't have to be like Ani DiFranco to be a feminist musician. Music is such a varied art form that people can use any style they want to promote their cause to a new segment of society.

Perhaps even better than logic is when you use humour to promote women's rights, pointing out the faults and double standards that society sets for women. Wit and a good joke draws more fans than a dry essay.

Marxist/Materialist Feminism
Economics plays an important role in how women are subjugated. Marxist feminism deals with women as a working class and how they are essentially slaves, paid less, often less educated and exploited. Having material wealth and being in control of their own finances / future helps create a more equal footing for women.

Postfeminism
Freedom of Choice is the hallmark of Postfeminism. Women can choose to have careers, children, both, have sex, abstain, choose birth control products, choose abortion, choose whatever they want. Its not just Pro-Choice when it comes to abortion, its Pro-Choice when it comes to everything. If you don't have a choice then you are a slave to the whims of another.

Psychology & Feminism
Get inside the working minds of women and men and discover how they actually think. Is it laziness, greed or lust that drives men to keep a good woman down? Or a sick combination of all three? Understanding how we think and why we think what we do is an important step towards achieving equality.

Radical Feminism
You might think radical feminists are extremists, but you'd be wrong. They're just outside-the-box thinkers and activists. They come up with unusual ideas to promote equality and put them into action.

Religious & Atheist Feminists
Some people like to point to various religious figures who support feminism. Others will point out the faults of organized religion and how religions often try to subjugate women (ie. calling reproductive control a sin and refusing to have female clergy members). Where are the female Popes? The female Dalai Lamas? Its no wonder there is so many feminists in the atheist community when the religious community frequently treats women poorly.

Riot Grrls & Individualists
The Riot Grrls was a feminist punk movement in the USA during the 1990s, promoting their own brand of "In Your Face Grrl Power" Feminism. Coupled with individualists speaking their own brand of feminism, it is collectively a very outspoken branch of the feminist movement.

Sexuality & Feminism
Women are raised to repress their sexuality. Discovering and coming to terms with their sexuality is a difficult process in a culture where women are treated either like frigid madonnas or whores. The duality of the female sexuality is a double standard and a source of both sorrow and joy.

Socialist Feminism
Both economics and cultural aspects work to keep women down. Similar to Marxist feminism, Socialist Feminism believes that equality can only be achieved by tackling both the cultural causes of patriarchy and the economic aspects as well.
