There are many different interpretations of what it means to be a feminist or believe in the philosophy or ideas of feminism. Feminism is a noun and essentially means "the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men" (dictionary.com) or "an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women."
However, not all feminism is for completely parallel rights for women, for instance, pregnancy leave isn't exactly becoming "equal" with men, but gaining a right that men don't necessarily need and women have a use for. It is generally accepted that there have been three waves of feminism, and it still continues into today. Now, there are many types of feminism that all tend to focus on different areas of women's rights.

Has modern feminism lost its principles?
Some critics have argued that modern feminism has lost its principles. However, feminism is not a stationary idea, and has to change in order to continue to be useful. Feminism has gone through many phases or waves since its advent in the United States, from First Wave Feminism all the way to Fourth Wave Feminism. Just within the U.S. feminism has changed from a movement focused on getting women the vote, and from being a movement largely run only by white, middle-class straight women, to a feminism that attempts to be more inclusive to all women, regardless of their race, ability, sexuality, religion, class and other identities. Feminism has branched into numerous subsets, such as eco-feminism, radical feminism, and (Multi)Cultural feminism, in an attempt to acknowledge all women and all their experiences. Feminism in different countries takes different forms and means different things. So feminism has changed in many ways since its advent, but it has not lost its principles. Feminism still seeks to bring equality to women, and dismantling, and dismantling oppressive institutions, which are what its principles have always been.
