Feminism typically refers to gender equality especially with respect to rights for female humans,〔''Oxford English Dictionary'' (online), as accessed September 22, 2013, entry ''feminism'', noun (Full entry), sense 3.〕 even though many feminist movements and ideologies differ on exactly which claims and strategies are vital and justifiable to achieve equality. However, equality, while supported by most feminists, is not universally seen as the required result of the feminist movement, even by feminists. Some consider it feminist to increase the rights of women from an origin that is less than man's without obtaining full equality.〔Wollstonecraft, Mary, ''A Vindication of the Rights of Woman'', in ed. Deidre Shauna Lynch, ''Mary Wollstonecraft: A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: An Authoritative Text Backgrounds and Contexts Criticism'' (N.Y.: W.W. Norton (Norton Critical Ed. ser.), 2009 (ISBN 978-0-393-92974-4)), p. 158 (in ch. II, ''The Prevailing Opinion of a Sexual Character Discussed'') (§ ''The Text of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects'') (ed. prof. & assoc. prof. Eng., Univ. of Toronto).〕〔Echols, Alice, ''Daring to Be Bad: Radical Feminism in America 1967–1975'' (Minneapolis, Minn.: Univ. of Minnesota Press (American Culture ser.), 1989 (ISBN 0-8166-1787-2)), pp. 144 & 289 (oral history) (author was visiting asst. prof. of history at Univ. of Ariz. at Tucson) (citing, in ''id.'', p. 289 n. 14, Snitow, Ann, ''Retrenchment vs. Transformation: The Politics of the Anti-Pornography Movement'', in ''Caught Looking: Feminism, Pornography and Censorship'' (N.Y.: Caught Looking, 1986), pp. 11–12) (Ann Snitow was a brigade founder of N.Y. Radical Feminists, per pp. 384 & 388).〕 Their premise is that some gain of power is better than nothing. At the other end of the continuum, a minority of feminists have argued that women should set up at least one women-led society and some institutions.〔Andrea Dworkin: ("Take No Prisoners", in ''The Guardian'', May 13, 2000 ), as accessed September 6, 2010.〕〔Phyllis Chesler: Spender, Dale, ''For the Record: The Making and Meaning of Feminist Knowledge'' (London: The Women's Press, 1985 (ISBN 0-7043-2862-3)), p. 151 (on institutions) but see p. 214 (antibureaucratic).

G., ''Feminism and the Abyss of Freedom'' (Chicago: Univ. of Chicago Press, 2005 (ISBN 0-226-98133-9)), ''passim'', esp. p. 96 & nn. 11–15〕〔Gilman, Charlotte Perkins, ''What is "Feminism"?'', in ''The Sunday Herald'', Sep. 3, 1916, () ''Magazine'', p. () (§ ), of ''The Boston Herald'' (Boston, Mass.).〕 == Agreement on definition == According to Tilburg University women's studies chair Tineke M. Willemsen, "()t is hardly even possible to give a definition of feminism that every feminist will agree with."〔Willemsen, Tineke M., ''Feminism and Utopias: An Introduction'', in Lenning, Alkeline van, Marrie Bekker, & Ine Vanwesenbeeck, eds., ''Feminist Utopias: In a Postmodern Era'' (Tilburg Univ. Press, 1997 (ISBN 90-361-9747-3)), p. 5 (Willemsen chair women's studies, Tilburg Univ., & social psychologist, ed. Lenning asst. prof. women's studies, Tilburg Univ., ed.
