If there's one thing this election season has highlighted, it's some deep divisions within the feminist movement. Today at Women's eNews, Amy Tiemann outlines how some older feminists claim solidarity with Hillary Clinton based on her vagina -- or as Tieman says "plenty of second-wavers have turned the campaigns into a test of feminist credentials." Many younger feminists, meanwhile, say it's not just about electing a woman. Tiemann says, "I am worried that modern feminism may go the way of 'The Greatest Generation,' something younger women honor as a historical legacy that does not directly involve us." It's a good summary of the debate among feminists.
