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 for social chance like its 1970s predecessor... nor was it tied to concrete political and policy goals [referring to the first wave movement]…” Third wave feminists focus less on mass political…

Being loyal to anything - be it an idea or a person - can often come with many repercussions. However, following someone or something impetuously can result in even more. A lot of the time, people stay devoted to their friends or family, or a belief of some kind. That kind of loyalty can be extremely powerful, but the same loyalty can become harmful when it is uncontrolled.

mind, such as women’s right to vote, or official legal inequalities. Third-wave feminism is ignored because many people are under the impression that first- and second-wave feminism accomplished all there was to accomplish, and that men and women now stand on equal footing across the board. Unfortunately, quite often the only people aware that we still lack inequality are those who are treated unequally. Because of this, third-wave feminism is often assumed to be fighting for women to be raised…

They further tried to explain how what is now known as the third wave of feminism got its bad reputation, which included the fact that it addresses a wide range of issues “beyond” gender.

Emma Goldman was born on June 27, 1869 in Lithuania, Russia. Little did anyone know at the time what a major figure she would be in anarchism and feminism all over the globe. She showed her first signs of the potential she would soon bring into the world when she resisted her father’s ideas about a very domestic future for her. Instead, she went her own way and migrated to America in 1885. Here is where it all really began. She would do great things for not only women, but all of society in…

My initial thoughts and feelings walking into the courthouse were one of nervousness, and excitement. I was nervous to be in the presence of criminals, and to go through security. Also, just being around people with such high authority is intimidating. I was really excited though, I have always been interested in the workings of a trial. I was anxious to hear what the case I was sitting in on was all about, and do come up with theories and verdicts of my own. The spatial arrangement in the…

Body dissatisfaction is so common among women that it is considered a normative female experience (Knobloch-Westerwick & Crane, 2012). Nearly half of American women experience poor body image (Peterson, Tantleff-Dunn, & Bedwell, 2006). Not only does body dissatisfaction prompt women to attempt to control their weight and shape through dieting (Groesz, Levine, & Murnen, 2002), but it is strongly correlated with eating disorder symptoms (Peterson et al., 2006).

Oppression comes in many forms. It can be very apparent or very subtle. There are many forms of oppression that are overlooked as “it’s not that bad” or “they’ve come a long way. Why should we bother?”. One unnoticed form of oppression is sexism and women discrimination. This type of oppression effects nearly half the world’s population and isn’t being addressed adequately however, there strides have been made. In an effort to fight both sexism and women inequality the Feminist Movement came to…
