Generally a woman (though not always), who acts as an activist for Women's rights. There are three general types of feminists: Liberal, Socialist, and Radical Feminism. Liberal Feminists generally garner the most support, and attempt to rectify injustices suffered by women through conventional means. Socialist Feminists are a more radical form of liberal feminist that believe only a Socialist/Communist/Marxist revolution can truly stop gender inequality. Radical Feminists are extremely left wing, believing that only that the universal, surgical elimination of gender may bring about gender equality.
