20th-century feminist movements

20th-century feminist movements aimed to achieve gender equality and women's rights in various social, political, and economic aspects. The first wave (late 19th to early 20th century) focused on legal issues, such as voting rights. The second wave (1960s-1980s) expanded to tackle issues like workplace equality and reproductive rights, influenced by the civil rights movement. The third wave (1990s-2000s) embraced diversity and individualism, addressing intersectionality among race, sexuality, and class. Each wave built on previous achievements, advocating for broader recognition of women's roles and rights in society. Today’s feminism continues to evolve, addressing contemporary issues globally.
