What is the Feminist Movement 

The feminist movement is a social, political, and cultural movement that seeks to establish gender equality, primarily advocating for women’s rights. It aims to challenge and dismantle societal norms and stereotypes. The movement addresses various issues, including women’s suffrage, reproductive rights, equal pay, education, workplace rights, and violence against women. Over time, the feminist movement has evolved into different waves, with each wave focusing on various aspects of gender equality. The first wave focused on legal rights like voting, the second addressed broader societal issues, and the third embraced a more inclusive approach, considering race, class, and sexual orientation. The ongoing fourth wave emphasizes intersectionality and digital activism.
