Eowyn (written I think to please Priscilla - where did I read that?) was aware of the constraints facing women and rebelled against them.

It should probably have said "many women have done great deeds, but that does not make them a feminist" and not "women have done great deeds, but that does not make you a feminist"

Anyways I do agree with what you say, I belive that you can be symbol of something you might not even understand or belive in.

My posts are just not well written.

Rune, don't worry, I did understand you meant 'them' not 'you'.

I was pondering on whether you could 'be' something before that concept had been named. Eg feminism.
You could ponder the same issue with Marxism, Christianity, etc....
