Feminist waves and branches
Waves
First wave (19th-20th century)
The movement starts with peaceful demonstrations, asking for the
right to vote,
but after encoutering little success, uses more aggressive methods, which prove more successful
They also fought for the access to a better
education
and better treatment inside
marriage
and
work
Some feminists such as
Flora Tristan, Clara Zetkin, Emma Goldman
and
Alexandra Kollontai
became socialists and anarchists demanding better working conditions
In the US, the feminist movement allied itself with the
abolitionist movement
in the beginning, which helped creating the Black rights movement
Second wave (1960-1980)
These women, such as
Simone de Beauvoir, Carol Hanisch
and
Betty Friedan,
question the meaning of femininity
Hanisch founded the
radical feminist
movement, which only allowed women to participate, since men could never really understand their problems
Women were still mostly house wives, so the search for better working conditions and social rights was still going strong
Third wave (1990-present)
The most diverse of the waves, dividing the movement into LGBTQ+, black rights, etc
Antiquity
Women in intellectual positions could already be seen in the
Renaissance,
but feminism started growing with the liberal ideas of the
Enlightement
Olympe de Gouges
and

French Revolution,
since they started organizing the feminist movement after their writing didn't achieve much

Some important names are
