Fun With Feminism

This little "Fun with Feminism" Quiz was created by Deborah Siegel, author of Sisterhood Interrupted: From Radical Women to Grrls Gone Wild. She posted it on her personal blog about a year ago, and I adapted it to this online format so we could have a little fun with it in class.
