Machine-translated from the German article

Emanze (a back-formation from Emanzipation, or emanzipiert) is a mostly derogatory colloquial term for a women's rights activist or feminist. The word emerged around 1970, when the second wave of the women's movement reached its peak, and was initially used only by its opponents, at best in jest but mostly as an insult. More recently it is sometimes also used as a reclaimed term, i.e. as a self-designation by women who define themselves as emancipated.
