An explanation, and a disclaimer:
This glossary is my answer to the frequent requests I get to clarify my terms, or define words that are new to my readers. As such, this glossary reflects my opinions and my interpretations: this is not an authoritative source for feminist vocabulary, but I have attempted to be as accurate as possible, and to include references where applicable. It is also a work in progress: some listings have yet to be filled out, and I am frequently thinking up (or getting suggestions for) new entries to add.
Please use the comments in this post to request or suggest further glossary terms. Alternately, you can email me directly at arwyn at raisingmyboychick dot com.
