Feminist theatre is a genre that came to be widely recognised, theorised, studied and practised in the wake of the seventies' Women's Liberation Movement; it has generally been understood as describing and encompassing diverse theatrical work motivated by the recognition of and resistance to women's marginalisation within social and cultural systems that accord male privilege and dominance.

How Did the feminist mystique affect the femenist movement?

The book affected the feminist movement because Betty Friedan raised the question - "Is that all?" It made women question their expectations of what being a woman meant. Before the 2nd wave of feminism a woman was meant to be happy with being a wife and mother, a carer, a nurturer, a homemaker. Some women rejected her ideas but others thought there must be more than this and they wanted gender equality. Betty Friedan was a leader of the feminist movement which advocated for equal pay, childcare, maternity leave and numerous other agendas. In essence the feminist movement of the 1960's is generally marked by the publication of her book, the woman was a catalyst. So, yes it really did affect the feminist movement.


What is true regarding feminist researchers?

" Feminist researchers " is an misstatement at least. Scientific researchers need to be free of ideological bias as much as possible. If you meant research into feminism I would have no idea about that as feminism is a subjective ideology when it steps outside the bounds of equality and equal opportunity.


What does it take to be a feminist?

Technically, all you have to do is identify as a feminist. At worst, you'd be a bad feminist (as opposed to not a real feminist) because feminism is a movement, not an organisation. To be a good feminist, you'd have to engage in women's rights advocacy or women's rights activism.
