You can be a feminist and a (fulfilled) homemaker, just as you can not have children and still be femiNINE. It's not an either/or situation. It's what YOU want to make out of your life and the choice to do so that makes someone or something feminist. Prescribed choice--pronouncing that one life choice works for all women, indeed is necesssary for all women--is what makes something anti-feminist. Hirschman is prescribing a choice--work outside the home--therefore Hirschman is not a feminist.
