The Three waves of feminism
The first wave of feminism (1830's-early 1900's)
The focus in this wave of feminism was on legal issues,and primarily on the right to vote.In 1919 women were granted the right to vote.
The second wave of feminism (1960's-1980's)
The second wave of feminism focused on a wider range of issues like sexuality,reproductive rights,the workplace and domestic violence.Birth control was approved in 1960 and in 1968 the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission passed the amendment of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prevented discrimination based on sex in the workplace.
The third wave of feminism (1900's-2008)
The third wave was an attempt to expand feminism to include women with a diverse set of identities like queer and non-white woman.Therefore,it was less politically focused and more about individualistic identity.Another goal in this period was to abolish gender role expectations and stereotypes.In 1992 four women joined the U.S senate.The 1990's also saw the first female U.S Attorney general and Secretary of State.
Post-feminism
Reactions against contradictions and absences in feminism,especially second-wave and third-wave.
