Rethinking Feminism

Myriam François, Finn Mackay, Leena Nair, Elif Safak. Mary Ann Sieghart hosts.

We think feminism fights for equality for everyone. But from the right to wear headscarves to the refusal of contraception, ideas of what is fair and what equality is vary dramatically. Does feminism lack a universal goal because its an impossible dream? Must we recognise feminism means different things in different places or should we all fight for the same thing?
