Nikita has collected efforts to very precisely sum up her passion for the topic of Feminism, majorly dashed with theory and that's how she likes to call it:
People are often confused when we talk about feminism.
Let's have a short summary of what feminism portrays.
What is Feminism?
Feminism is the belief that all beings, both women and men, are entitled to the same civil rights and liberties. Individuals become gendered in society, creating various social based roles, but rights? Rights are meant be equal.
Thus, we can conclude that it is a movement seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment.
QUICK LOOK OVER THE THREE WAVES OF FEMINISM -
The diversity and fluidity of this movement can be summarized into three waves namely -
Suffrage [First Wave] :
This movement took place in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It concentrated on voting rights, property rights, birth control (that existed at the time - condoms or sponges and, just as important, education about sexuality and how to prevent conception.)
Equal Wave [Second Wave] : This wave began in 1960s and continued into the 90s. This movement concentrated on sexual freedom, legislative work to change sexist law, integration into the workplace, equal funding, integration into the political arena.
Patriarchy [Third Wave] : This wave began in the mid 90s. It concentrated on sexual freedom, inclusion of gendered females, diversity, inclusion of women of color and women from other cultures - plus the issues surrounding both first and second wave feminism.
