I work in the public opinion polling industry. In addition to occasionally asking direct questions about feminism in some of our polls, becasue we do a lot of public policy work, we often run polls concerning issues of relevance to feminists.

Actually, whenever we do a poll on a major social issue (same-sex marriage, for example), I look at those stats first even if it's not a project I'm working on, just to see what the latest trends are in terms of public perception on those issues.

I'm in social work, so it is definitely a huge feminist experience. Any scholarly articles I read about the reality of women & poverty, women of color, etc. are feminist to me, even if they're not books written by feminists. Feminism is a huge issue in social work.

I'm a feminist support worker at a women's centre, so yeah, lots of feminism going around. We have a great library with all sorts or past and present books, and a huge resource area that I'm currently re-organizing. Fun! (I'm not being sarcastic, I really like to organize. :P )
