Document Summary

Feminism gained widespread usage in the 1890s in the western world. It identified to women who supported public role for women. Historically women"s role has been defined to be in the homes. They supported women"s right to be autonomous and independent being. One of the great struggles for women taking up space in the public domain in the western world was the suffrage. Suffrage movement was when they gained the right to vote. Feminists in the early years were noted as women who were trying to gain space in the public domain (the right to vote). The definition of feminism has changed since the 60s. They were fighting oppression and trying to gain inequality. It got translated through the media as against men. They were fighting the assumption that it was women"s natural role to be in the homes, and that home was the proper place. Feminism is all about challenging the values and assumptions.
