What is liberal feminism?

Liberal feminism is the belief in equality and in the fact that everyone, though particularly women in a patriarchal culture, should be allowed to live as she chooses. It is a combination of two philosophical ideologies, liberalism and feminism.

Liberalism is the belief that people should be free to live their own lives and a have a say on how the government is run. Feminism is the belief that all human beings should have equal rights and life choices and should be treated equal under the law and in society, although feminism particularly focuses on gender inequalities between men and women.
