The true meaning of feminism is this: to use your strong womanly image to gain strong results in society.

On its face, the line defines feminism in instrumental terms: it frames feminist power as the strategic deployment of a “strong womanly image” to achieve “strong results” in public life. The phrasing suggests a reconciliation of femininity with agency—i.e., that traditionally gendered presentation (“womanly image”) need not be opposed to influence, leadership, or social change. At the same time, the emphasis on image can be read critically: it risks reducing feminist politics to optics or personal branding rather than structural critique. The quote therefore sits at a tension point between empowerment-through-self-presentation and feminism as a broader movement for systemic equality.
