	History of feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The history of feminism reaches far back before the 18th century, but the seeds of the feminist movement were planted during the latter portion of that century.
		Radical feminism was a significant development in second wave feminism, viewing women's oppression as a fundamental element in human society and seeks to challenge that standard by broadly inverting perceived gender roles along with promoting lesbian and gay rights.
		Outside of the West, feminism is often associated with Western colonialism and Western cultural influence, and is therefore often delegitimized.

	Feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Feminism is a diverse collection of social theories, political movements, and moral philosophies, largely motivated by or concerning the experiences of women, especially in terms of their social, political, and economic situation.
		Feminism as a philosophy and movement in the modern sense may be usefully dated to The Enlightenment with such thinkers as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the Marquis de Condorcet championing women's education.
		Feminism became an organized movement in the 19th century as people increasingly came to believe that women were being treated unfairly.

		To support her claim that feminism is alive and well, Freedman cites the trend toward more natural childbirth practices, more enlightened policies on rape and sexual harassment, the growth of women's athletics and the adoption of more family-friendly policies by corporations and government.
		Freedman's account of US women's history is rich in personal testimonies of women downtrodden by their alleged champions (the League of Women Voters and the YWCA were honourable exceptions.) Cracks in sisterhood widened after the rebirth of radical feminism at the time of the civil rights movement.
		Freedman has no totalizing theory of feminism that encompasses the many feminisms, nor are her particular narratives presented as unique; to integrate the general with the historically specific, she glides between the extremes of grand theory and local experience.

	Topics in Feminism
		Feminism is both an intellectual commitment and a political movement that seeks justice for women and the end of sexism in all forms.
		Although the term "feminism" in English is rooted in the mobilization for woman suffrage in Europe and the US during the late 19th and early 20th century, of course efforts to obtain justice for women did not begin or end with this period of activism.
		Feminism is grounded on the belief that women are oppressed or disadvantaged by comparison with men, and that their oppression is in some way illegitimate or unjustified.

		In America, Feminism was the outgrowth of the movement for the abolition of slavery and the Temperance movement for the legal banning of liquor.
		What does history disclose but marks of inferiority, and how few women have emancipated themselves from the galling yoke of sovereign man?--So few, that the exceptions remind me of an ingenious conjecture respecting Newton: that he was probably a being of a superior order, accidentally caged in a human body.

		History does have characteristics that can be divided along sex lines, and women's contribution to history as a whole has distinctly different highlights to those achieved by men.
		According to Marx's vision of world history there was in ancient times a period of primitive communism in which small scale tribal or village societies had a communal sharing of resources and a degree of fairness in their social arrangements.
		History is acutely important in all states not simply because the telling of past events facilitates the 'education' of the population.

	Analytic Feminism
		Analytic feminists are philosophers who believe that both philosophy and feminism are well served by using some of the concepts, theories and methods of analytic philosophy modified by feminist values and insights.
		Each kind of feminism identifies the principal sources of women's oppression and encompasses an epistemology and a theory of human nature as well as political theory and strategies for social change (1983).
		Analytic feminism holds that the best way to counter sexism and androcentrism is through forming a clear conception of and pursuing truth, logical consistency, objectivity, rationality, justice, and the good while recognizing that these notions have often been perverted by androcentrism throughout the history of philosophy….

		Generally, feminism means the advocacy of women’s rights to full citizenship — that is, political, economic, and social equality with men.
		Feminism encompasses some widely differing views, however, including those that advocate female separatism.
		Modern feminism, which was born with the great democratic revolutions of the 18th century (American and French), differed from its precursors in applying the democratic implications of “the rights of man and the citizen” to women as a group.

		Estelle Freedman, an American historian who has written on gender history and the history of sexuality, was compelled to write this volume because of the lack of a comprehensive history of feminism.
		Rosen demonstrates that, even into the present day, feminism has resonated with diverse groups of women, including women of different ethnic and racial minorities and women of different ages, despite the backlash against it.
		Recognizing the need for more comprehensive studies on the history of feminism, both authors filled a gap - Freedman on the broader period and wider world and Rosen on the modern period in the United States.

		That law, which grants uniform inheritance rights, equal divorce rights to husband and wife, and governs child support, is a rare piece of pro-woman legislation for the Arab states, which typically use Islam, as a principal source of law, to restrict women's rights.
		The actual agents of Arab feminism were women like Hoda Shaarawi, generally considered the pioneer of Egypt's women's movement.
		And finally it's up to Arab women to extend it, whether they believe the hijab is a religious obligation, a part of their cultural identity, an interesting fashion accessory, or a symbol of oppression.

		Despite the dramatic changes experienced in Puerto Rico since industrialization and modernization, sexism and male chauvinism ingrained in the concept of machismo are still deeply rooted in cultural and social patterns and in institutions; these attitudes continue to deprive women of true equality.
		Major issues related to the experience of Puerto Rican women, in both the island and the United States, are now a major focus of research and public policy.
