Feminism aims to promote equal rights and opportunities for women. It began as movements in the 19th and early 20th centuries for women's suffrage and rights. Feminism has since developed into three waves focusing on ideas of women's liberation and the continuation of promoting women's rights. Feminism in education focuses on addressing gender inequalities in society through examining gendered language, stereotypes, discrimination, and the role of women in the curriculum and their subject choices.
