Need some help on feminist theory

I’m working on a table for my final paper about feminist public administration theory. What this table will do is summarize a bunch of different feminist theories. I’ve already summarized radical libertarian and radical cultural theories. Now I’m on psychoanalytic and gender feminist theories. And here’s where I feel like I’m stuck.

I summarized radical libertarian theory as seeking a gender-neutral society where everyone can express feminine and/or masculine traits despite their gender. And this is also how I feel like psychoanalytic feminist theory falls.

I summarized radical cultural theory as embracing the feminine and wanting to see feminine traits being valued in society. And this is also where I sum up gender feminist theory. I do have to add that gender feminist theory clearly says that feminine traits are better than masculine traits.

Again, I’m trying to be as 101 as possible, this is a table.

Any help in helping to differentiate the different theories?

Thanks!
