Feminist movements are social and political campaigns aimed at achieving equality for women in various aspects of life, including legal rights, education, and employment. These movements seek to address issues such as gender discrimination, reproductive rights, and violence against women. They have evolved over time, with different waves focusing on distinct goals and challenges. The first wave of feminism, occurring in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily focused on women's suffrage, while the second wave in the 1960s and 1970s expanded to issues like workplace equality and sexual liberation. The third wave, emerging in the 1990s, emphasized diversity and individualism, addressing the experiences of women from different backgrounds, including race and sexuality.
