As a guy, who always loved the series, I always thought the character of Anne was totally feminist. I mean, feminism is about empowering women and removing obstacles so women can make a free choice about what to do with their lives, same as men. It's not about any particular person's choice, once she's made it.

It's perfectly feminist to *choose* to be a single, childless world-renowned surgeon. It's also perfectly feminist to *choose* to be a stay-at-home mom with six kids. To each, her own, eh?

Anne chose, after many years and twists and turns of her own, to settle down (in her way) with a family. I also found the filial duty aspects of the story to be interesting.

And she was always quick to differentiate herself from the (small-minded) women who were only interested in pleasing others (and conforming to social expectations) and had their pleasures only in gossip. Anne developed relationships outside of the family. It's important that Anne gets an education and goes off to Windy Poplars to work before getting married. It emphasizes that she could have had a career instead of marriage but wanted to be with Gilbert.
