American feminist movements

American feminist movements are social movements advocating for women's rights and gender equality. They have evolved through several waves: 1. The first wave (late 19th-early 20th century) focused on legal issues, like suffrage (the right to vote). 2. The second wave (1960s-1980s) addressed broader issues such as reproductive rights, workplace equality, and sexual liberation. 3. The third wave (1990s-early 2000s) embraced diversity and individualism, challenging stereotypes and societal norms. 4. The fourth wave (2010s-present) utilizes digital platforms to confront issues like harassment and intersectionality, emphasizing inclusivity and social activism. These movements aim to empower women and create equitable societies.
