The Evolution of Feminism

Feminism started out humbly. A couple women fighting for equality so they don't have to be with a guy to live in society(Valentino). This evolved overtime as more women came to understand that equality is something worth working for and the first wave of feminism began at the Seneca Falls convention. This movement ended with the 19th Amendment -- Women's suffrage. Women were still treated as servants or slaves, even by their own language(Kingston).

Feminism: Fairer treatment to women.

Another wave of feminism arose in the 1960's as human equality started surfacing as a righteous cause. Feminism wasn't the most popular or known movement at the time(Bell), but it still gained ground as more and more writers started spreading the word for more human equality between genders. The patriarchy still remained.

Feminism: Gender equality between females and males.

Now, there lies leaps and bounds in equality, yet there still remains inequality. And now the movement begins fresh. Campaigning under a new symbol, feminism has reached its peak in history. There is still a lingering injustice that remains, that will be rooted out through teamwork from both men and women. "Feminism is for everybody"

Feminism: The end of oppression by the other gender.
