Third Wave Feminism Defined

Naomi Wolf's review of the new biography of Helen Gurley Brown includes a fantastic description both of what Third Wave Feminism is and the obstacles it still has to overcome.

Third wave feminism is pluralistic, strives to be multiethnic, is pro-sex and tolerant of other women's choices. It has led to an embrace of what was once so politically suspect — the notion that you can be a "lipstick lesbian" or a "riot grrrl" if you want to be, that you can choose your persona and your freedom for yourself.
