Document Summary
A varied and fluid grouping of critiques aimed at challenging male privilege and at the formation of political, economic, and social rights for women. (beasley 1999) Feminism prioritizes gender and power dynamics, positioning male privilege as well as the social, political, and legal structures and institutions that support this male entitlement as fundamental to the subordination of women. Ended in the early 20th century when women got right to vote. Some women are still not allowed to vote in some countries. The movement was broad and took on many issues including suffrage, abolition of slavery, temperance, marital property, men"s sexual privilege, and animal rights. At the end of wwi, the women"s movement began to splinter. Expanded in its approaches, and it became increasingly fractious and diverse. In the 1980s, increased diversification with global organizing and dialogue among feminists from all over the world. In the 1990s, third-wave feminisms, multiracial, and postmodern all emerged and most recently, transfeminism.
