History of Feminism
FEMINISM DEVELOPED IN THREE WAVES:
1. The first wave (19th & early 20th century) basically begins with the Seneca Falls convention of 1848. There, almost 200 women met in a church in upstate New York to discuss “the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of women.”
2. The second wave began during 1960s up to 1990s and was born out of civil rights' movement. The primary issues that this movement tried to address was of sexual equality and reproductive rights.
3. The third wave of feminism began in late 1980s and continues until today. Feminists from the third wave do not consider "feminine" objects as artifacts of male oppression, but as tools to enrich their femininity.

1. MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT- She argued that women should have the right to life, property, pursuit of happiness, and suffrage.
2. ADRIENNE RICH- She used poetry and essays to bring light the oppression of women and lesbians in the society.
3. JUDITH BUTLER- She believes in Theory of performativity which means that gender becomes a process of being, something actualized through repetition.
