I was recently telling a friend of mine about a movie I saw in a class
I took on "Women and Film".  My friend is a foreign graduate student, and
she asked me what feminism is.  I tried to explain best I could, but I
think there are too many definitions and branches of feminism for me to
be really accurate or clear to her.

Does anybody know of a good book - a primer of sorts - on feminism ideals
and beliefs.  I think she would be interested in reading it (after I'm
done with it, of course).

Thanks....
