Quotes Being a feminist is not only a state of mind or of the decisions and actions we take but it is also a state of ‘being’, of being emotionally involved in the feminist ethos. A feminist is a person who has a sense of responsibility to change society by contributing even in a minute way of dismantling patriarchal structures and helping to build societies which are based on Rights; Justice; Equity; Knowledge and Strong Women’s Movements. A feminist is a person who has compassion and who believes in sisterhood.
