Document Summary
Women"s place in society is unequal to that of men. It isn"t the political belief that women are better than men, no normative dimensions on whos better. Not the belief to ignore biological differences. Isn"t blame or an antagonism against men or women. It isn"t anything people want it to be, we need to have definitions to understand it as an ideology. This represents a fundamental injustice in society. An internally diverse political project: eliminate causes and consequences of women"s disadvantages. 19th and early 20th century increase in number of women writers (jane austen) Women were writing for women and gave exposure to start. Early feminist focused mostly on the right to vote (suffrage movement) In canada women won the right to vote in 1918. Not until the 50"s where all provinces were allowed to vote. New zealand was the first country to permit women to vote. Happened right at the end of the war.
