The document discusses the history and perspectives of feminism across three waves. The first wave from the 19th-early 20th centuries focused on issues like women's suffrage, education, and work. The second wave from the 1960s-1980s addressed legal and cultural inequalities. The third wave from the late 1980s-2000s built on and responded to perceived failures of the second wave. It also discusses various feminist ideologies like liberal, radical, socialist, and postcolonial feminism that have different views on issues like patriarchy, sex work, and globalization. Key incidents and developments are highlighted for each wave of feminism.
Feminism explores themes of patriarchy, stereotyping, objectification, and oppression. It is a diverse collection of theories and movements that are critical of gender inequality and aim to promote women's rights and gender equality. Feminism addresses issues such as gender roles, power relations, reproductive rights, and discrimination.
Third-wave feminism began in the early 1990s in response to perceived failures and backlash against second-wave feminism from the 1960s-1980s. It focuses on issues like queer theory, abolishing gender stereotypes, and recognizing diversity among women in terms of race, ethnicity, sexuality and other factors. Prominent third-wave issues include addressing gender violence, reproductive rights including access to abortion, and redefining notions of sexuality and rape through movements like SlutWalks. Third-wave feminism also continues to advocate for workplace equality and support for mothers and families.

The document provides an overview of the history and key aspects of feminism. It discusses feminism as comprising social, cultural, and political movements for gender equality and women's rights. It outlines the three waves of western feminist movements - first wave in the late 19th century focused on suffrage, second wave from the 1960s-1980s on legal and social rights, and third wave from the 1980s-2000s on representation of women in government. Key figures and ideas that shaped each wave are also mentioned such as Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex influencing second wave feminism.
This document discusses the history and evolution of feminism from the 1940s onwards. It begins by covering early feminist figures and works from the 1940s-1960s that challenged ideas of male chauvinism and the feminine mystique. The 1960s saw the rise of second-wave feminism in response to works like The Feminine Mystique and the establishment of groups like NOW. However, second-wave feminism has been criticized for primarily applying to white, middle-class women and ignoring issues of race and sexuality. More recent third-wave feminism seeks to be more inclusive of these intersecting identities and views gender as socially constructed.
Feminism first emerged as a critique of traditional sociological theory for not acknowledging women's experiences. Feminist scholars argued that sociology studied men, not humans, analyzing only the "male social universe." If women were studied, it was through a male perspective. As a result, feminists argued that sociology contributed to the subordination and exploitation of women. Feminist sociology aims to bring light to women's issues like violence against women, women's poverty, and the invisibility of women's reproductive roles. Feminism sees society as patriarchal, with a hierarchical system that privileges men over women and values masculinity over femininity. Different waves of feminism have focused on issues like suffrage,
Feminism aims to achieve equality between the sexes and address additional layers of discrimination women face. There are several kinds of feminism including liberal feminism, which works within existing structures; radical feminism, which views women's oppression as fundamental; Marxist/socialist feminism, which sees capitalism as the root cause; cultural feminism, which focuses on building women's culture; and eco-feminism, which draws parallels between society's treatment of women and the environment. The document provides brief overviews of each type of feminism.

The history of modern western feminist movements is divided into three waves - the first wave focused on women's suffrage in the late 19th/early 20th century, the second wave promoted legal and social equality starting in the 1960s, and the third wave began in the 1990s as a reaction to perceived failures of the second wave. There are three basic forms of feminism - liberal feminism focuses on individual choice and action, socialist feminism addresses both public and private oppression, and radical feminism seeks to abolish patriarchy through challenging social norms

3. Feminism history and perspective – from history to herstory
Feminism is a collection of movements and
ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and
defending equal political, economic, and social
rights for women. This includes seeking to
establish equal opportunities for women in
education and employment.
The history of the modern western feminist
movements is divided into three "waves". Each
is described as dealing with different aspects of
the same feminist issues. The first wave refers
to the movement of the 19th through early 20th
centuries, which dealt mainly with suffrage,
working conditions and educational rights for
women and girls. The second wave (1960s-
1980s) dealt with the inequality of laws, as well
as cultural inequalities and the role of women in
society. The third wave of feminism (late 1980s-
early 2000s (decade)), is seen as both a
continuation of the second wave and a
response to the perceived failures.
Feminism is a perspective that
explores the connectedness of
concepts that other theorists
simply do not discuss or even
contemplate.

Third wave movement
7. Feminism ideologies
Liberal feminism seeks individualistic equality of men and women through political and
legal reform without altering the structure of society.
Radical feminism considers the male-controlled capitalist hierarchy as the defining feature
of women's oppression and the total uprooting and reconstruction of society as necessary.
Conservative feminism is conservative relative to the society in which it resides.
Libertarian feminism conceives of people as self-owners and therefore as entitled to
freedom from coercive interference.
Separatist feminism does not support heterosexual relationships.
Lesbian feminism is thus closely related. Other feminists criticize separatist feminism as
sexist.
Ecofeminists see men's control of land as responsible for the oppression of women and
destruction of the natural environment; ecofeminism has been criticized for focusing too
much on a mystical connection between women and nature.
Materialist feminisms grew out of western Marxist thought and have inspired a number of
different movements, all of which are involved in a critique of capitalism and are focused on
ideology's relationship to women.
Marxist feminism argues that capitalism is the root cause of women's oppression, and that
discrimination against women in domestic life and employment is an effect of capitalist
ideologies.
8. Socialist feminism distinguishes itself from Marxist feminism by arguing that
women's liberation can only be achieved by working to end both the economic
and cultural sources of women's oppression.
Anarchic-feminists believe that class struggle and anarchy against the state
require struggling against patriarchy, which comes from involuntary hierarchy.
Black and Postcolonial feminisms pose a challenge "to some of the organizing
premises of Western feminist thought." During much of its history, feminist
movements and theoretical developments were led predominantly by middle-
class white women from Western Europe and North America.
Womanism emerged after early feminist movements were largely white and
middle-class.
Postcolonial feminists argue that colonial oppression and Western feminism
marginalized postcolonial women but did not turn them passive or voiceless.
Third-world feminism is closely related to postcolonial feminism. These ideas
also correspond with ideas in African feminism,
motherism, Stiwanism, femalism, transnational feminism, and Africana
womanism
Lipstick feminism is a cultural feminist movement that attempts to respond to the
backlash of second-wave radical feminism of the 1960s and 1970s by reclaiming
symbols of "feminine" identity such as make-up, suggestive clothing and having a
sexual allure as valid and empowering personal choices
9. Main Discourses of Feminism
Sex industry
Opinions on the sex industry are diverse. Feminists are generally either critical of it
seeing it as exploitative, a result of patriarchal social structures and reinforcing
sexual and cultural attitudes that are complicit in rape and sexual harassment or
supportive of at least parts of it arguing that some forms of it can be a medium of
feminist expression and a means of women taking control of their sexuality.
Pornography
The "Feminist Sex Wars" is a term for the acrimonious debates within the feminist
movement in the late 1970s through the 1980s around the issues of feminism,
sexuality, sexual representation, pornography, sadomasochism, the role of
transwomen in the lesbian community, and other sexual issues. The debate pitted
anti-pornography feminism against sex-positive feminism, and parts of the feminist
movement were deeply divided by these debates.
Prostitution and trafficking
Feminists' views on prostitution vary, but many of these perspectives can be loosely
arranged into an overarching standpoint that is generally either critical or supportive
of prostitution and sex work. Anti-prostitution feminists are strongly opposed to
prostitution, as they see the practice as a form of violence against and exploitation
of women, and a sign of male dominance over women.
10. Patriarchy
Patriarchy is a social system in which the role of the male
as the primary authority figure is central to social
organization, and where fathers hold authority over women,
children, and property. It implies the institutions of male
rule and privilege, and is dependent on female
subordination. Most forms of feminism characterize
patriarchy as an unjust social system that is oppressive to
women. As the feminist and political theorist Carole
Pateman writes: "The patriarchal construction of the
difference between masculinity and femininity is the
political difference between freedom and subjection.
Sexism- the idea and doctrine that believe women are
made just for sex
11. Globalization of the feminism
Immediately after the war a new global dimension was added by the formation of the
United Nations. In 1946 the UN established a Commission on the Status of Women.
Originally as the Section on the Status of Women, Human Rights Division,
Department of Social Affairs, and now part of the Economic and Social Council
(ECOSOC). In 1948 the UN issued its Universal Declaration of Human Rights .
which
protects "the equal rights of men and women", and addressed both the equality and
equity issues. Since 1975 the UN has held a series of world conferences on
women's issues, starting with the World Conference of the International Women's
Year in Mexico City, heralding the United Nations Decade for Women (1975–1985).
Feminism has shown, and continues to show, that poverty is very much a feminist
issue. Whilst the inequality exists in wages and on the work floor, women will find it
a greater struggle to reach out of poverty. Whilst they are kept in poverty, they
remain powerless, and men continue to oppress them.
Maintaining a high profile of gender inequality and its wider implications remains the
core principle of Feminist movements. New campaign and protest groups continue
to grow from Feminist principles.
12. Reactions to feminism
Different groups of people have responded to feminism, and both men and women
have been among its supporters and critics. Among American university students, for
both men and women, support for feminist ideas is more common than self-
identification as a feminist. The US media tends to portray feminism negatively and
feminists "are less often associated with day-to-day work/leisure activities of regular
women.
Pro-feminism
Pro-feminism is the support of feminism without implying that the supporter is a
member of the feminist movement. The term is most often used in reference to men
who are actively supportive of feminism. The activities of pro-feminist men's groups
include anti-violence work with boys and young men in schools, offering sexual
harassment workshops in workplaces, running community education campaigns, and
counseling male perpetrators of violence. Pro-feminist men also are involved in
men's health, activism against pornography including anti-pornography legislation,
men's studies, and the development of gender equity curricula in schools. This work
is sometimes in collaboration with feminists and women's services, such as domestic
violence and rape crisis centers.
13. Anti-feminism
Anti-feminism is opposition to feminism in some or all of its forms. In the
nineteenth century, anti-feminism was mainly focused on opposition to women's
suffrage. Later, opponents of women's entry into institutions of higher learning
argued that education was too great a physical burden on women. Other anti-
feminists opposed women's entry into the labor force, or their right to join
unions, to sit on juries, or to obtain birth control and control of their sexuality.
Herstory is history written from a feminist perspective, emphasizing the role of
women, or told from a woman's point of view. It is a neologism coined in the
late 1960s as part of a feminist critique of conventional historiography, and
refers to history (reinterpreted as "his story") written from a feminist
perspective, emphasizing the role of women, or told from a woman's point of
view. The word history—from the Ancient Greek, or istoria, meaning "a learning
or knowing by inquiry"—is etymologically unrelated to the possessive pronoun
his.
The herstory movement has spawned women-centered presses, such as
Virago Press in 1973, which publishes fiction and non-fiction by noted women
authors like Janet Frame and Sarah Dunant.

24. Conclusions
•Gender differences in socialization within the family and elsewhere traditionally
operated to the disadvantage of female who were dissuaded from opting for
meaningful careers
•The traditional allocation of roles within the family whereby females take
disproportionate responsibility for housework and childcare is determined not by
biology but by limited female employment opportunities outside the family and by
the existence of patriarchal power within the family.
•Many household tasks provide few opportunities for individual creativity.
•Even well qualified professional women will find their career prospects more limited
once they take time out from work to care for young children.
•Even when women are employed full-time outside the home this may mean also that
they are obliged to undertake the so-called "triple shift" of employment,
housework/childcare and emotion work.
•Patriarchal power ensures that major family decisions are taken by males rather than
females.
25. •The existence of "empty shell marriages", high rates of divorce and considerable
levels of domestic violence show that family relationships are often far from
harmonious.
•Limited educationalopportunities and gender discrimination at work mean women's
employment opportunities are worse than men's. Women tend to be horizontally
segregated in a range of poorly paid occupation such as secretarial work, shop work,
cleaning and hairdressing and caring professions such as teaching, nursing and
social work which are not especially well paid. When they are employed in potentially
well paid professions such as Law or Medicine they will tend to be vertically
segregated at the lower levels of these professions. They are also unlikely to be
employed in skilled manual occupations such as plumbing or engineering.
•They may also be victims of routine sexism in their daily lives and feel obliged to
concern themselves excessively with their appearance.
•We might conclude that there is much truth in this but that gender inequalities are
still substantial.
26. Feminism may be described as a body of thought which suggests that
women have been and are disadvantaged in both past and contemporary
societies. Feminists emphasize the extent to which societies are in several
respects patriarchal: that is, societies are dominated by men who oppress
and exploit women.
There are several varieties of Feminism but all stress the exploitation of
women. They argue that it is vital to clarify the meanings of the concepts of
sex and gender respectively; that powerful processes of gender socialization
operate to the disadvantage of women; that female students have been
disadvantaged in education (and to some extent still are, despite their recent
relative improvement); and that women are exploited at work, in the family
and in society generally where they may often face sexual harassment and/or
male violence.
