Abstract
This article focuses on the differences in feminist orientation occurring by gender, race, and class. The author derives 11 propositions from a review of the literature and tests them at four different levels of feminist reference: public, family, interpersonal, and self. Examining a sample of 1,735 boys and girls born after the onset of the women's movement, the author interprets the findings as degrees of responsiveness to an order that is equalitarian with regard to gender and links these findings to one or more of the strata considered. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings for various feminist strategies.Keywords
