Women Liberation

The personal is political!

The personal is political” became a common refrain during this period. The words exemplify how second-wave feminism foregrounded individual expression for wmen—demands for contraception, anger about domestic violence, protests for abortion rights, and the discarding of bras as symbols of oppression characterized this period. As Betty Friedan’s feminist classic The Feminine Mystique (1963) found its way into many bookshelves, Congress passed the Equal Pay Act of 1963, activists lobbied successfully for an Equal Rights Amendment (1972), and the Supreme Court issued its Roe v. Wade decision (1973). Although the second wave of feminism coincided with the Civil Rights Movement, Black women and other women of color still struggled against marginalization in relation to white women’s demands for equality with white men.

Suffrage Movement

Focused on securing women's right to vote and basic legal rights.

The first women’s movement to take to the streets in the United States corresponded to first-wave feminism’s philosophy as a whole: Women deserve all the same basic rights as men. It unofficially began with the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention in New York and culminated when the Nineteenth Amendment secured voting rights for women. Borrowing from the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft, nineteenth-century suffragettes like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony fought for these basic equal rights. Despite initially partnering with abolitionists like Sojourner Truth, the interests of white feminists began to diverge from those of Black women throughout this first wave.

Contemporary Feminism : Emerging Trends

• Fourth-wave feminism: Digital activism
• #MeToo movement
• Online platforms as tools for advocacy and awareness

Marngianalization

#Me Too

The fourth-wave feminism is still defining itself. It continues third-wave feminism’s efforts against the marginalization of women of color. It also places a great emphasis on including trans women in feminism’s efforts, fighting for people’s right to define their gender alongside the historic goal of gender equality. Alongside these more inclusive and intersectional calls for social justice, fourth-wave feminism also gave birth to the #MeToo movement and other campaigns calling for the end of sexual harassment and violence against women.

Intersectionality and Inclusivity

The Riot Grrrl

Beginning in earnest around the 1990s, the third wave of feminism attempted to rectify some of the racism and classism inherent in previous feminist movements and activism. Black Americans like Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw and Rebecca Walker, as well as other third-wave feminists, helped develop the concepts of intersectionality and identity politics to lay the groundwork for greater inclusivity within feminism for marginalized groups. The riot grrrl movement arose simultaneously, echoing these intersectional demands while creating a burgeoning punk rock scene and rejecting some second-wave feminists’ attempts to decry traditional expressions of femininity in fashion.
