Morphology
women's + liberationist
The meaning is directly built from 'women's' (relating to women) and 'liberationist' (a person who advocates liberation/rights), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer 'a person who advocates for women's liberation or feminism'. This follows a regular possessive/nominal composition pattern found across languages, making the compound readily understandable from its parts.
Etymology
Women's liberationist comes from the 1960s and 70s movement called women's liberation, where people marched and campaigned for women's freedom from unfair rules and roles. A 'liberationist' is simply someone who works for 'freedom', so the phrase means a person who fights for women's equal rights.
