The document discusses the history and ongoing need for feminism. It describes how feminism has had different causes over time and locations, but the overall goal has been to obtain women's rights. The document then lists 5 ongoing reasons why feminism is still needed: 1) rapists often face no legal consequences, 2) women still fight for basic education and literacy worldwide, 3) women's reproductive rights remain threatened, 4) popular culture often portrays women negatively, and 5) many women feel pressure to alter their appearances and personalities for fame. It also briefly describes Ecuador's first female president, Rosalía Arteaga, and the political dispute surrounding her short time in office in 1997.

4. History
Depending on historical moment, culture and
country, feminists around the world have had
different causes and goals. Most western
feminist historians assert that all movements
that work to obtain women's rights should be
considered feminist movements, even when
they did not apply the term to themselves.

5. 5 Reasons We Still
Need Feminism

6. 1. Rapists still get away with this.
You really need to read the whole stunningly
reported, shocking tale of this serial rapist to
comprehend the extent of damage he was allowed
to do. But suffice to say that Jeffrey Marsalis was
charged with rape a whopping 10 times without a
conviction, simply because juries thought his self-
composed, professional-woman victims were too
"put together" to be rape victims -and because
most of them exhibited what is confusing, but
typical, post-date rape behavior by talking to and
sometimes seeing him again.

7. 2. Women still fight for education and basic literacy
across the world. And that's why we need volunteer
efforts such as the recently launched Afghan
Women's Writing Project, which pairs United States-
based writing teachers with Afghan women to hone
their works and share them with the world.

8. 3. Women's reproductive rights are still in jeopardy.
Roe vs. Wade may still be safe, but cuts to Planned
Parenthood funding can have effects that are just as
detrimental. Blame the recession's effect on social
programs (namely, the elimination thereof), or just
blame conservatives. Either way you slice
it, women's health services often find themselves
on the chopping block. This month, The Orange
County Health Care Agency denied funding for a
new breast health program sponsored by Planned
Parenthood.

9. 4. Obsessed, Bride Wars, Bridezillasand
everything else that paints women as crazed to
find, keep, and marry a man. More offensive
than the man-fever these movies suggest all
women have is the cavalier manner in which
women will turn on one another to get the
prize. The message conveyed is that we only
need female friendships until we "snag" the guy.
We'd like to strive for a sisterhood where
compassion trumps competition and cattiness.

10. 5. And while we're on the pop-culture topic:
Heidi Montag, The Real Housewives, Keeping Up
With the Kardashians and any VH1 show ending
with "of Love." Surefire recipe for "success":
gobs of plastic surgery, catty bitchiness , and
desperation to whore oneself out on national
television. Fantastic system we're setting up
there for future generations. And guess what:
It's our own damn fault for watching!

11. Rosalía Arteaga
She was born in Cuenca, Ecuador. She became Vice President
in 1996, following the election of Abdalá Bucaram as
President. On February 6, 1997, however, President Bucaram
was declared unfit to govern by Congress. Arteaga and
congressional leader Fabián Alarcón became locked in a
dispute over who should succeed Bucaram, as the
constitution was vague on the issue. Initially, Alarcón was
sworn in with the support of Congress. On February
9, however, Arteaga, who had insisted as vice-president she
should become president, was sworn in instead as Ecuador's
first female president. Two days later, however, on February
11, with the support of Congress and the army, Alarcón was
sworn in again and Arteaga resigned.
