Dorothy Cobble, Linda Gordon, and Astrid Henry further explain this idea in their book Feminism Unfinished! by explaining that the earlier generations of feminists focused on identifying the political and social inequalities they dealt with. Whereas the third wave of feminists sought out to address these inequalities. In further explanation, these authors stated, “While connected to earlier movements to advance gender equality and social justice, this new feminism was not a mass-based movement…
