In the 19th century, a new wave called Feminism was born. At the time no one knew how successful or unsuccessful it would become. Feminism held a massive effect on the females’ lives in society and regular day to day. It all began due to the inequality between men and women.

Absurd Feminism Despite not being a playwright of the absurd, several elements of absurdism are seen in Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls.

The most prominent example of the absurd in this play is in the dinner scene between the historical figures at the beginning, which seems to follow most of the rules of the absurd and its tropes, however this is not the central focus of…

are three waves of feminism which span different time periods and cover different struggles that have been overcome for women. Many diverse issues have been covered in the first three waves but there is still a lot to be done not only with things that weren’t touched on in the first three but also defining and taking a new stance or approach on the critical problems faced in the first three waves.

it comes to challenging what our ideas of what modern feminism is. In Flawless, Beyoncé tries to break down the more complex parts of feminism that others may not understand and otherwise view as contradictory.
