Abstract/Summary

This study was undertaken to test whether there was a significant difference in the level of feminism between members and non-members of women's groups. The two groups of respondents came from three women's groups and the schools they were founded, respectively. They were the UP Women's Forum of the University of the Philippines, the S-KAIBA of the St. Scholastica's College, and the KMMK of the De La Salle University. There were a total of sixty respondents, equally divided between the two groups. They were asked to complete the 40-item Adapted Kirkpatrick's Feminism Scale, accompanied by an open-ended questionnaire. The results showed in their level of feminism based on their over-all scores and the scores in each particular aspect, namely, political-legal, economic, domestic, and conduct and social status. The members showed a higher level of feminism than the non-members. Membership or non-membership to women's groups was seen as the possible factor for the observed differences.
