Women and feminism

When we use the word "feminism", we are talking about a number of political and social movements and ideas that have one goal

The history of modern feminism comes in four "waves" - or movements

The third wave, which began in the 1990s, continues the work of second-wave feminism

The first wave of feminism in the West was mostly about getting the vote

The second wave of feminism arrived in the middle of the 20th century

Second-wave feminism was about more than the vote; it was about sexuality, family and work

Second-wave feminism also talked about sexual assault against women

The third and fourth waves of feminism, from the 1990s until today, have often been about women's fight against sexual harassment and assault, and the fight to be "themselves"

Fourth-wave feminism uses social media to talk about the problem of harassment in the street and at work

Examples of fourth-wave feminism are: the 2017 Women's March; the 2018 Women's March; and the MeToo movement
