It's kind of funny (in a hrmm way, not a haha way) that half the world has a uterus, and yet we have a whole classification of people (feminists) who became icons just for standing up for that uterus (and the woman attached to it). You've probably studied some of them: Mary Wollstonecraft, Susan B. Anthony, Simone de Beauvoir, Virginia Woolf, Gloria Steinem... to name a few. But when it comes to selecting a contemporary feminist to put on your Feminism Altar (you have one, right? Mine is made of tampons and features framed photos of Ani DiFranco and Tori Amos), how do you choose? By taking this quiz, that's how.
