Feminism can be defined as the political and social movements that champion the rights of women, promote equality of sexes in a patriarchal society, and support female empowerment. In Toni Cade Bambara's short story, the protagonist, Hazel Elizabeth Deborah "Squeaky" Parker, is depicted as a strong, talented female character with high aspirations. Hazel's mindset, confidence, and personality embody the feminist ideology and illustrate female empowerment.
Squeaky is the fastest person in her age group and never backs down from a challenge. She does not fear any boy or girl and confidently believes that she will take home the first-place medal at the May Day races. Squeaky's main competitor is also a female, who is new to the neighborhood and known as a talented athlete. Squeaky demonstrates her talent by winning first place and reveals her leadership skills by committing to coaching her differently abled brother, Raymond. Squeaky's role as a strong, confident female is aligned with the feminist agenda, which promotes equality among sexes and female empowerment.
