Women 's Unity: The Cornerstone of Feminism The core argument and motive of feminism has always stayed the same, to gain equality for women and no longer be treated as second class citizens. What has changed dramatically over time is which women are considered deserving of this equality. Simply put in early feminism some women were more equal than others. What equality means and how it will come about has also changed dramatically for the feminist movement. Originally equality was seen as…

While women involved in the black and non-white feminism movement were concerned with their race, mainstream feminism never had to cross that barrier. In the identities of the women the groups differed. The difference in their goals are apparent when works featured in Nancy MacLean’s The American Women’s Movement, 1945-2000, a chapter by Michelle Wallace from Gloria T. Hull’s All the Women Are White, All the Men Are Black, But Some of Us Are Brave: Black Women 's Studies, and Kimberle Crenshaw’s…

work as a collective. Intersectionality is using these components to discriminate against a group of people in more than one way. It’s important because it shows how a person can be discriminated against because of different factors, for example, Black women face both racism, and sexism.

When reading Audre Lorde’s “The Master’s Tools”, Combahee River Collective’s “A Black Feminist Statement”, and Rhon Manigault-Bryant’s “An Open Letter to White Liberal Feminists”, the idea that multiple versions and conceptions of feminism exist becomes undeniable. Lorde writes that women should revel in differences and use them as a source of power instead of…

A consensus was made about its association with race, and its thoughts on the matter, but feminism was harder for people to agree on. It certainly seems that Beyoncé is supporting feminism’s cause with things such as her mostly female cast, but at times the subject matter of the songs and poems seem to contradict Bell Hooks’ definition of feminism. More than that, though, is the issue with brevity of feminism in the album itself. Since Lemonade chooses to focus on the empowerment of a repressed…

“contained as part of the whole being considered”. Using this definition, it would be easy to say that feminism is not completely inclusive, even though an inclusionist view exists. There is such a thing as an inclusionist feminism vision, one that strives to include women of all race, age, size, sexuality, and gender expression, though this vision is not currently implemented in mainstream feminism. Kimberle Crenshaw describes what an inclusionist feminist vision should be when talking about…

Since the third wave of feminism began in the mid 1990’s, similar to a rebirth in feminism, it became the norm for people to be more concerned with and speak out about women’s right issues that women have the burden of facing. With more people also learning more about the fact that feminism is based on the principles of fairness, instead of misandry, a lot of people became more comfortable identifying themselves with a feminist label. And for that reason, it doesn’t surprise most of us to hear…
