history of feminism

Feminism is a social and political movement advocating for equal rights and opportunities for women. Its history spans over a century, beginning with the first wave in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on legal issues like women’s suffrage. The second wave in the 1960s and 70s broadened to issues like workplace equality, reproductive rights, and social norms. The third wave, in the 1990s, emphasized diversity and individual identity. Today, feminism continues to evolve, addressing intersectionality and global gender disparities, while promoting gender equality across all areas of life.
