Despite the enduring sense of West’s words, feminism has become so unpopular that it is almost wholly absent from the glut of self-help handbooks churned out for women these days. This is dangerous, argues the journalist and one-time stand-up comedian Ellie Levenson; although the “Noughties generation” (women born after 1970) has grown up sure of its rights to equal pay, contraception and the rank of prime minister, feminism is still important – and no one should be embarrassed to say so.
