Kate Winslet: I’m a feminist

Kate WinsletLondon, Dec 19 : Hollywood actress Kate Winslet insists that she is a `feminist'.

The 33-year-old actress plays the role of an emotionally cramped woman in her new film `Revolutionary Road', based on the 1963 feminist classic by Betty Friedan.

The book lifted the lid on a generation of educated, 1950s women, condemned to housewifery, and deeply unhappy.

When asked about if she feels that she''s a feminist the actress replied, "probably I am", though not a strong one.

"I think I probably am," Guardian. co. uk quoted her as saying

Her assistant quickly added, "In a loose, unofficial kind of way,"

However, Winslet continued to ponder and say, "I think I probably am. I mean, not in a bra-burning way. But I think I am a feminist, yeah," she added.

Helmed by Winslet's husband Sam Mendes, the `Revolutionary Road' also reunited the Titanic star with her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. (ANI)
