Thanks to a big spike in online searches, “feminism” is Merriam-Webster’s word of the year for 2017.
“Feminism” is a noun defined by Merriam-Webster as "the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes" and "organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests." The website said that the term generated 70 percent more searches this year compared with 2016.
The Women’s March in January contributed to one spike in searches for “feminism,” and White House adviser Kellyanne Conway’s comment in late February about struggling to call herself a feminist was responsible for another jump in searches.
