Surface Forms
Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built: 'choice' modifies 'feminism' to signal a strand of feminism that emphasizes individual choices and empowerment, which directly matches the provided definition. This straightforward modifier-noun pattern is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words can reliably infer the meaning (though they may not grasp the ideological debates around it).
Etymology
Choice feminism comes from the simple idea of joining choice and feminism: imagine a feminism that lets each woman pick her own path. So, the phrase means a kind of feminism that puts each woman's 'choice' and personal 'empowerment' first.
