From personal experiences to Beyoncé and everything in between, people have found feminism in lots of different ways.

We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to share their stories about what sparked their feminist awakenings. Here are their powerful responses:
I started following a girl on Tumblr who happened to be a feminist; I read almost everything she posted about feminism and it just made sense. It clicked. I realized some of the ideas I had grown up with were really toxic and there is so much internalized misogyny in most girls.

When I was walking downtown with my mother and a stranger grabbed my crotch, I was in shock. My mother called the cops and when I went to make a formal complaint I was asked what was I wearing and then I was told "just touching" me was not a crime. I was a teenager, and I didn't know it was feminism back then, but I just knew that no one should say it's OK to touch another person's genitals just because they didn't rape you, regardless of what you're wearing.
