Neofeminism
Neofeminism describes an emerging view of women as becoming empowered through the celebration of attributes perceived to be conventionally feminine, that is, it glorifies a womanly essence over claims to equality with men. It is a term that has come into use in the early 21st century to refer to a popular culture trend, what critics see as a type of "lipstick feminism" that confines women to stereotypical roles, while it erodes cultural freedoms women gained through the second-wave feminism of the 1960s and 1970s in particular. ==Origins== The term has been used since the beginning of Second-wave feminism to refer broadly to any recent manifestation of feminist activism, mainly to distinguish it from the First-wave feminism of the suffragettes. It was used in the title of a best-selling 1982 book by Jacques J. Zephire about French feminist Simone de Beauvoir, ''Le Neo-Feminisme de Simone de Beauvoir'' (Paris: Denoel/Gonthier 9782282202945). Zephir used the term to differentiate de Beauvoir's views from writers described as "Neofeminist", such as literary theorist Luce Irigaray, who indicated in her own writing that women had an essentialist femininity that could express itself in ''écriture féminine'' (feminine writing/language), among other ways. Céline T. Léon has written, "one can only identify the existentialist's (Beauvoir's ) glorification of transcendence with the type of feminism that Luce Irigaray denounces in ''Ce sexe qui n'en est pas un'': "Woman simply equal to men would be like them and therefore not women"." de Beauvoir's views were quite the opposite: Later writers and popular culture commentators appear to have continued this use of the term to describe essentialist feminism. It has been used by sociologists to describe a new popular culture movement that "celebrates both the feminine body and women's political achievements":
