It depends on what you regard as the "feminist movement". Some would consider that fighting for women's rights was a precursor to the main feminist movement of the 1970s. If this is the case, then the feminist movement arguably began with Dame Roma Mitchell whose influence led to the formation of the Women Law Students' Society, when she was not permitted to join the Law Students' Society because she was a woman. On 23 September 1965, Mitchell was made a Justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia in 1965, the first Australian woman to achieve this position. Pioneering the Australian women's rights movement, Mitchell was also the first woman in Australia to be a Queen's Counsel (1962).
Virginia Woolf was not involved in stopping feminism; in fact, she was a key figure in the feminist movement. Woolf's writing, including her feminist essays and novels, contributed to the advancement of women's rights and gender equality. She advocated for women's voices to be heard and their experiences to be valued in society.
"The Feminine Mystique" was written by Betty Friedan, an influential American feminist and activist. The book, published in 1963, is considered a pioneering work in the feminist movement and is credited with sparking the second wave of feminism in the United States.
That depends a great deal on how you define "feminist". For the purposes of this answer a "feminist" will be defined as someone who believes in or promotes establishing equal political, economic, personal, and social rights for women. What constitutes a "right" is quite the broad question as does what constitutes "equal". In general Hillary has been a strong advocate for political, economic, personal, and social rights for women when they align with her agenda and a bitter opponent of anything in those arenas that contradicts her agenda. When something doesn't much affect her agenda, she tends to ignore it. If you agree with her political agenda then you would consider her a feminist. If you are a supporter of something that opposes or does not advance her agenda but you believe is important to women, then you probably would not consider her a feminist.

Many people consider Lilith, the woman before Eve, to be the first feminist because she left Eden and refused to submit to Adam.
Technically, all you have to do is identify as a feminist. At worst, you'd be a bad feminist (as opposed to not a real feminist) because feminism is a movement, not an organisation. To be a good feminist, you'd have to engage in women's rights advocacy or women's rights activism.
