    Feminism is the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of equality between the sexes. It began as a movement in 1848 at the Seneca Falls Convention in New York where organizers discussed the social, civil, and religious conditions and rights of women. Key figures in early feminism included Mary Wollstonecraft and Simone de Beauvoir, who wrote influential works arguing for women's rights and examining how culture determines gender roles and oppression. Feminism examines how gender issues are presented in society and aims to establish gender equality by addressing ways women have been oppressed under patriarchal systems and ideologies.
