Which Western feminist icon are you?
My result: You are Gloria Steinem. You are the McDonalds(tm) of liberal feminism, though you used to expouse some pretty radical ideas, you ended up working the system. Because it’s easier? Maybe. But thanks for the only mainstream feminist magazine and for heading one of the most significant feminist lobbys in the history of the US. We wouldn’t be where we are without NOW and Ms., as much as some of us are loathe to admit it.
I guess that’s all right, though I wish it was a little less negative. I think I only got her because I identified as “married.”

check me out: You are Angela Davis! You were the THIRD WOMYN IN HISTORY to appear on the FBI’s Most Wanted List. You are a communinist, black power-lovin’ lady who shook up the United States when you refused to lie down quietly to oppression. You WENT TO JAIL! Wow. You kick so much more ass than Foxxy Brown.

That’s awesome! I’ve never even heard of her… But man, you sound way cooler than me! 🙂

I’m bell hooks: You were one of the first black wymyn to discuss in public spaces the differences between being a black womyn and being a black man or a white womyn. You are the mother of intersectionality and you couldn’t care less about identity politics. Thanks for making feminism accessible and calling the white, middle class wymyn on their b^%$^&$!
In Real Life, I’m white, but I like the message. I am a huge Gloria Steinam fan (even though she did go to Smith).
The quiz was a little silly, but fun. Too many choices and too few questions to really define, but cute.

Yay! I’m Angela Davis, too! 🙂
