=> Waves of feminism:
First-wave feminism promoted equal contract and property rights for women, opposing ownership of married women by their husbands.
By the late 19th century, feminist activism was primarily focused on the right to vote. American first-wave feminism ended with passage of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution in 1919, granting women voting rights.
Second- feminism of the 1960s-1980s focused on issues of equality and discrimination.
The second-wave slogan, “The Personal is Political,” identified women’s cultural and political inequalities as inextricably linked and encouraged women to understand how their personal lives reflected sexist power structures.
Betty Friedan was a key player in second-wave feminism.
Third- feminism began in the early 1990s, responding to perceived failures of the second wave and to the backlash against second-wave initiatives.
This ideology seeks to challenge the definitions of femininity that grew out of the ideas of the second-wave, arguing that the second-wave over-emphasized experiences of upper middle-class white women.
The third-wave sees women’s lives as intersectional, demonstrating how race, ethnicity, class, religion, gender, and nationality are all significant factors when discussing feminism.
It examines issues related to women’s lives on an international basis
=> Types of feminism:
1. Socialist Feminism:
Socialist feminism is a movement that calls for an end to capitalism through a socialist reformation of our economy. Basically, socialist feminism argues that capitalism strengthens and supports the sexist status quo because men are the ones who currently have power and money.
2. Cultural Feminism:
Cultural feminism is a movement that points out how modern society is hurt by encouraging masculine behavior, but society would benefit by encouraging feminine behavior instead.
3. Radical Feminism:
Radical feminism is a movement that believes sexism is so deeply rooted in society that the only cure is to eliminate the concept of gender completely.
Radical feminists suggest changes, such as finding technology that will allow babies to be grown outside of a woman's body, to promote more equality between men and women.
Issues faced by feminism:
In my humble opinion, the main issue facing this concept of modern feminism (define to advance political, economic, personal, and social rights for women) is most people refuse to accept that women are treated unequally or misogyny still exist.
Some think enough has been done because they hear advocates like us fight every day for women’s rights.
And what is even more disheartening for me is more women are even blind to see how unfairly they are treated, and to even make things worse, are apologetic to these unfair treatments because they want to be likable
