Usage Note

Féministe works as both a noun (une féministe — a feminist) and an adjective (un mouvement féministe — a feminist movement). The word is invariable in spelling for both genders as a noun: un féministe (m), une féministe (f). It has become increasingly prominent in French public discourse, and le féminisme is the corresponding movement noun.

Examples

"Elle est une féministe engagée depuis des années."
