- The first wave of feminism occurred in the Western world during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is about equal rights for women. Additionally, it involves the right to vote and women's political participation. Politics and business were completely dominated by powerful men at the time, and society did not see women as capable as men in politics. Women gained basic legal rights as a result of the first wave of feminism, which we now cannot imagine life without.
Second wave of Feminism
- The second wave of feminism was more focused on social injustices. It was able to transform women's negative and inferior image. Rape, reproductive rights, domestic violence, and workplace safety are among the issues addressed by this wave. Women were able to create their own popular culture, and the feminist movement spread through feminist films, music, books, and even establishments such as restaurants.
Third wave of Feminism
- The third wave of feminism focused on female heteronormativity and women's reproductive rights. It valued the diversity and individuality of women. Additionally, it was claimed that it is a continuation of the second wave and a response to its perceived failures. They worked to address issues brought on by sexism, racism, social class inequality, and homophobia with a multicultural emphasis.
