Can feminism be hereditary?

Granddaughter Chelsea
 "I need feminism because I would like
 to have real conversations with men."

Women of my generation, those of us who fought for the Equal Rights Amendment and reproductive choice, often lament that the younger generation of women assume the fight is over, ignoring pervasive gender discrimination that continues today. I'm heartened though that things are changing. Women in the military are seeking the right to serve in combat. Women in college are speaking out against cultural practices that continue to limit women's ability to participate fully in society. Most thrilling to me personally is that my granddaughters, Chelsea and Rachael--the daughters of my lost daughter Rebecca and students at Brigham Young University in Utah--are on the forefront.
