55 - Catholicism and Feminism

What is Feminism? What does the Catholic Church teach about women, and their role in society? Are Catholicism and Feminism compatible?

In this "Catholicism and..." series, we look at contemporary cultural, social, and political topics alongside Catholicism and consider how we might engage with them through the lens of Catholic teaching.
