Wendy McElroy says 'yes', and that it's about time:
What is Christian feminism? It is a school within the broader feminist tradition that seeks to define woman's liberation and her equality with man through reference to the Christian religion. This sounds odd to modern ears. But it is no odder than trying to define liberation and equality with reference to post-Marxist theory, the well from which PC feminism draws. Or by referring to the classical liberal tradition as does the school I favor -- individualist feminism or ifeminism.
She does make the interesting point that leading early feminists were against many modern feminists tenets such as abortion. We'll have to keep our eye on this, however. Is any sort of 'feminism' compatible with Christianity?
