Feminism is a big tent, but most (maybe all?) feminists would agree that "it is the radical notion that women are people".

For this site, let's start with anything relating to

  • gender relations
  • sex roles
  • sexual & reproductive biology
  • women's history
  • feminist perspectives & analyses

"Feminism" might better be described as "feminisms", and it would include a number of different trends, identities, politics, and historical tendencies:

  • First Wave Feminism
  • Second Wave Feminism
  • Third Wave Feminism
  • Difference Feminism
  • Radical Feminism

The WisCon version (at http://www.wiscon.info/faq.php) is also applicable:

We define "feminist" broadly to include race and class issues, gay/bisexual/lesbian/transgender issues, and 
anything else that touches on strong women (authors, artists, readers, characters) 
in science fiction, fantasy, and horror.
