This finding was a short editorial about the death of the Feminism movement. It mentioned the birth of the feminism movement, but focused more upon the death of the old Feminist movement. The article stated that Feminism had achieved its goal of making it so that women “don't think of themselves as second-class citizens of the patriarchy, or follow "women's issues" in the news, and their marital status seems as likely to predict how they will vote as their sex.” This means that what is considered Feminism, the marching women in Berks is obsolete and a new feminism is upon us, a feminism of confident women.

VOICES OF A NEW GENERATION; Feminism, a Dirty Word.

An article on the evolution of the word “feminist”, this finding goes in support of the argument that Feminism is obsolete. During it’s heyday, Feminism was a source of pride and power for women in the movement. The term was not taken lightly nor was it used recreationally. The Feminist movement was a force to be reckoned with and needed if an office was to be attained. Now the movement is dead and the term feminist is treated as a joke and used synonymously with some definitions of the word “bitch”. Essentially, the article argues that Feminism is obsolete and a new women’s movement is needed before any more work can be done on that front.

Obsolete Feminism
Fitzherbert, Margaret. "Obsolete feminism. " IPA Review 48.1 (1995): 61-62. Research Library, ProQuest. Web. 16 Mar. 2010. http://proxy.foley.gonzaga.edu:2048/login?url=http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=6982522&sid=2&Fmt=3&clientId=10553&RQT=309&VName=PQD
This finding was a book, abet a short one, which focuses upon the recruitment troubles of the Feminist movement. The book goes on to claim that the trouble is caused by the obsoleteness of the movement. The problem with the book though is that it is very analytical and as such makes nearly no effort to prescribe a solution for the future. In the end, the book simply makes a statement that the old fashioned Feminist movement is obsolete and as such can no longer seem to inject itself with new life.
