Feminism โฆ I think the simplest explanation, and one that captures the idea, is a song that Marlo Thomas sang, 'Free to be You and Me.' Free to be, if you were a girlโdoctor, lawyer, Indian chief. Anything you want to be. And if youโre a boy, and you like teaching, you like nursing, you would like to have a doll, thatโs OK too. That notion that we should each be free to develop our own talents, whatever they may be, and not be held back by artificial barriersโmanmade barriers, certainly not heaven sent.
