feminism's
Women's rights ideology's
Feminism's is the possessive form of feminism, the movement and ideology advocating for women's rights and equality with men across political, economic, and social spheres.
The possessive typically precedes nouns describing aspects of the movement: feminism's core principles, feminism's evolution over the decades, feminism's impact on workplace policies.
It can also attribute ownership of ideas or effects: feminism's critics often mischaracterize its goals.
