What is the "F" word?

The other F word that makes people cringe.... FEMINISM.

But it's not a bad word! It is a valuable word to our international culture. It has gone through several stages here in America, and it is developing in other countries... still.

NMSU FREE wants to know YOUR definition of feminism. We are planning a zine-sized publication to share with our community and help develop an understanding of feminism.

What is your view of feminism? Do you feel comfortable self-identifying as a feminist? What does it take to be a feminist? Are there rules? Outlines? Do you feel there are limitations? Do you agree that "feminism is dead?" Are there women (and/or men!) in your life that have helped you define feminism in the world? World known heroes that you admire for their feminism?

Please share your definitions, art, poetry, essays or any other contributions to nmsu.free@gmail.com. The deadline for submissions is April 1, 2009.

We hope to hear from you soon!
