For the majority of feminists, motherhood refers to bearing or adopting a child and giving that child love, education, guidance, ethics, etc. But unlike some of the more traditional women, feminists would be likely to want their child raised in a relationship where the two married partners (be they lesbian or heterosexual) are equals, rather than in a relationship where one partner is "the boss" and the other is subordinate.

First, some historical context. Contrary to myth, feminists are not opposed to motherhood. What they are opposed to is women being forced to become mothers, women being told that motherhood is their only option, and men being unwilling to help with raising the children. Here is why most feminists share these viewpoints: (1) In some cultures, women are given no say in how many kids they will have. Birth Control is either unavailable or forbidden, and the husband decides how often she will get pregnant, whether she wants a large family or not. Feminists believe the woman should have an equal role in deciding whether to have kids, how many, and when. (2) In some cultures, women are not encouraged to get an education or choose a career; they are only allowed to be wives and mothers, even if they would like to go to school or work outside the home. And (3) In all too many cultures, housework is still considered "women's work," even if the woman works outside the home. Men are still getting the message that the wife is supposed to cook, clean, take care of the kids, and also contribute to the family's finances by holding down a job. While more men today do help around the house than they did fifty years ago, it is still far from equal.

There have been some extremists in the feminist movement, as there are in every social movement; these women did not want women to marry, since they regarded marriage as a patriarchal institution that oppressed women. There was also a time in the 1960s-1970s when some feminists seemed to look down on stay-at-home moms and favor women who had careers. But these views did not (and do not) represent the entire feminist movement; there are many feminists who are happily married, and who are raising kids.

Is the definition a feminist is someone who thinks that women are better than men a persuasive definition?

I'm not sure what you mean by "persuasive". Your definition sounds negative to me. I would define a feminist to be someone who is actively seeking equal rights for women. ( As a not totally intended by product of that effort, she might not object if women were given more than equal rights, but I would not put that into the definition.)
