Feminism

Feminism is a philosophy which holds women should have political, social, and economic rights equal to men's.

Minerva McGonagall was "always something of a feminist." When she announced she would be keeping her maiden name after marrying Elphinstone Urquart, traditionalists reacted with disapproval, wondering why she did not want to take the surname of a pure-blood family and give up the surname of her Muggle father.
