★Liberal feminists do champion legal and political equality with men and have pressed an equal rights agenda.
★They seek equal voting rights, education, employment and the freedom to associate, on the same terms as men.
★Difference feminists, by contrast, do regard the very notion of equality as misguided or undesirable.
