Phenomenon
of
Feminism
What is feminism?
Feminism, the belief in social,
economic, and
political equality of the sexes. 
Feminism at its core is about
equality of men and women, not
“sameness.”
 In late 14th- and early 15th-century
France,
the first feminist philosopher,
Christine de Pisan, challenged
prevailing attitudes toward women
with a bold call for female education.

History
This first phase of feminism in
of
India was initiated by men Feminism
to uproot the social evils of sati
(widow immolation), to allow
widow remarriage, to forbid child
marriage, and to reduce illiteracy,
as well as to regulate the age of
consent and to ensure property
rights through legal intervention.

Liberal feminism, also
called mainstream feminism, is
a main branch of feminism
 defined by its focus on
achieving gender equality
 through political and 
legal reform within the
framework of liberal democracy
.
Radical Feminism
Radical feminism is a perspective
within feminism that calls for a 
radical reordering of society in
which male supremacy is
eliminated in all social and
economic contexts, while
recognizing that women's
experiences are also affected by
other social divisions such as in
race, class, and sexual orientation.
Marxist Feminism
Marxist feminism is a
philosophical variant
of Feminism that incorporates
and extends Marxist theory.
Marxist feminism analyzes
the ways in which women are
exploited through capitalism
 and the individual ownership
of private property.
Postmodern Feminist

Postmodern feminism is a mix

of post-structuralism, 
postmodernism, and French
feminism. The goal of
postmodern feminism is to

Why Is
Feminism So
 
To Ensure Women Are Respected
Regardless Of Their Career Choices
Crucial For A
Country Like To End Unfounded Stereotypes About
India? Gender Roles

To End The Idea That Men Need To

Be Stronger Than Women
 Feminism is one of the oldest
movements in global history. There’s

Waves no single definition, but feminism boils

down to ending gender discrimination
 and bringing about gender equality.
in Within this goal, there are many types
of feminism. Instead of describing

Feminism them in isolation from each other,

feminism can be divided into “waves.”
First wave in
Feminism
Period of
activity:19th and
20th century.

Started in
England and
united states.
Demands during At the end of 19th
first wave century:

Political power
Equal contract
Marriage Women's suffrage
Parenting Women's reproductive
Property rights
Economic rights.
Driven by combination of social and economic forces.
The first organized "feminists” political activism
involved campaign for vote and equality.
First-wave feminism had a fairly simple goal: have
society recognize that women are humans, not
property. While the leaders of 1st-wave feminism
were abolitionists, their focus was on white women’s
rights
 Second wave in
Feminism
Second-wave feminism took place
in the 1960s and ‘70s.
It built on first-wave feminism
and challenged what women’s role
in society should be. Inspired by
the Civil Rights movement and
protests against the Vietnam War,
activists focused on the
institutions that held women back.
This meant taking a closer look at
why women were oppressed.
Three main types of feminism emerged:
mainstream/liberal, radical, and cultural.
Women became active in politics, demanded and
won the rights against university education, to a
career, and to easy divorce.
Suddenly, women began differently to men.
 Third wave
in Feminism
Thanks to the institutional
victories of second-wave
feminism, women enjoyed
more rights and power going
into the 1990s. They were able
to think about other aspects of
their identity, welcoming
individuality and rebellion. 
The third wave of feminism is described as a
sudden representation of women at all levels
of government.
Third wave feminism deals with issues which
appear to limit or oppress women.

Feminism in a good way

• DRDO launched the scholarship
scheme exclusively for girls in
year 2019.
• Girls in Haryana now will be
getting passport with graduation
degree.
 FAKE FEMINISM/ PSEUDO
Pseudo-feminism suggests FEMINISM
that women deserve more respect, or
people of other sexes do not deserve respect. 
Pseudo-feminists are also labelled on the Internet
as “feminazis” by keyboard warriors, they are individuals who do
not completely grasp the definition of feminism and who try to
find signs of injustice and violence even though there is none.
 (LUCKNOW CAB DRIVER CASE)
In Lucknow,  a woman, Priyadarshini crossing the road alleges a
cab driver, Shahadat Ali of rash driving and accuses him by
saying he was about to run the car over her. The woman pulled
the cab driver out of the cab by his collar, broke his mobile
phone, and start slapping him accusing him of violating traffic
rules and trying to kill her.
The woman repeatedly slapped the cab driver 22 times and the poor cab
driver kept asking her what was his fault. She physically abused him in a
public place but still, the cab driver did not slap her back or even touch
her. The bystanders recorded the entire incident. The woman
complained to the police and the poor cab driver who did absolutely
nothing was arrested and landed in lock–up. 
 ZOMATO DELIVERY BOY CASE
Influencer named Hitesha accused a Zomato delivery man
named Kamaraj of assaulting her after an argument over a late
delivery. She then rode a sympathy wave which allegedly gave her
some 10,000 extra followers.
The recent incident in which a Zomato delivery boy allegedly
assaulted a model and makeup artist has left the social media
divided. Many have come in support of the delivery boy and have
asked the woman to put an end to the issue, while many have called
the incident a ‘publicity stunt’.
 Feminism then vs feminism now
Today’s feminists have taken the remarkable women and
twisted what they stood for. Women have turned against men.
Past feminism changed society forever. Today, feminists believe
that men are less superior and that women could live on the
Earth without them, but that is not what true feminism is. True
feminism allows women to be equal to men. True feminists
make it possible for women to work the same jobs as men or
have the right to own property like men. Although the basis of
feminism is still the same, it has become a more aggressive
movement. Instead of bringing men and women together as a
united front, it has created an even bigger gap throughout
these years. Today’s feminism isn’t making the same progress
or spreading the same message.
 Conclusion

True feminism—feminism that seeks to liberate all women—leads inexorably

to solidarity politics, solidarity economics, and r/evolution—a global citizens
movement, as described by the Great Transition Initiative. It is important for
feminists, both women and men, to continue to affirm this, and to ascribe to
solidarity politics. Feminism must be r/evolutionary if it is to be fully feminist.
Moreover, it is imperative that all progressive movements be vigilant about the
challenge of intersectionality and commit themselves to eradicating all forms of
inequality—including male domination and gender oppression—that they
encounter within their organizations and in their organizing.
