    About this ebook

    What is a feminist? And how does one ‘feminist’ today? This question is answered in Feminist Activism 2.0: 101 Tips to Contribute, Lead, and Make a Positive Impact with the New Feminist Revolution.

    Referred to as the F word, feminism previously was regarded as a negative and manhating movement. Then something changed. Feminism, according to Merriam-Webster, was the most searched word in 2017. More than 3 million people attended the inaugural Women's March on Washington. A feminist ran for president and won the popular vote. The #MeToo hashtag appeared 1.7 million times in 85 nations.

    The renewed interest in and incredible velocity of this social, political and cultural movement demands a new meaning. It is time to launch Feminism 2.0.

    In the book Feminist Activism 2.0, feminist Megan Hussey offers the definitive feminist how to guide; exploring the definition and activities of the nouveau feminist movement, and identifying the women (and men) leading this movement.

    How can a woman support Feminism 2.0? How can a man? Is Oprah Winfrey the ultimate feminist? How about Jesus Christ? Can feminism be joyful and positive? And do we need it?

    Feminism is no longer the f word—unless, of course, the f word is question is fabulous and functional; sometimes, even fun!

      Chapter 1: What is Feminism 2.0?

      A Basic Definition

      Know the Meaning

      Feminism is by definition the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.--UN Goodwill ambassador and esteemed actress Emma Watson, addressing the United Nations

      Feminism, according to Merriam-Webster, was the most searched word in 2017. And the popular dictionary defined the Word of the Year as the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes and organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests.

      This may be the basic definition of feminism; but the renewed interest in and incredible velocity of this social, political and cultural movement seems to demand a new meaning. Perhaps it is time to launch and introduce Feminism 2.0.
