Anyone in the world can label themselves as being a feminist. If I were to walk up to someone on the street and ask them if they were a feminist, I would either get a yes or no in response.

The family is portrayed as being perfect as they embody the qualities of a conservative family including morality, good taste…

The first wave feminism movement worked hard to gain and guarantee women’s right to vote, but women were still unhappy with the way they were being treated in society. In the early 1960’s a woman was expected to marry as soon as possible so she could start a family and spend the rest of her life working in the home (Article #1). At this time women were still considered inferior to men. Women had no right to their husband’s property or earnings, but the husband had the right to his wife’s…
