Some people think we need feminism today, yet nothing may be more distant from reality. Women have been struggling for equal opportunities and oppression for hundreds of years, but certain struggles, such as the right to vote and equal access to education, have been achieved, but, in every facet of life, women still suffer disproportionately from all sorts of violence and discrimination. The concept of feminism represents a history of various conflicts and as comprehension is expanded, the term has been understood in a more complicated way. Feminism can often be regarded as a movement to eradicate sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. In local or world history, there have been many remarkable women, but not always all of whom have been proponents of women’s issues. The women’s movement consists of women and men who work and battle to create equality between women and women and to enhance the lives of women in society. Women have traditionally been limited to the house in most countries as children, wives, and mothers and we are sometimes only conscious of women in history because of their relationship with great men. Of course, many women have played a major part in cultural and political life throughout history, but they are unseen. The first wave of feminism included huge rallies, newspaper printing, discussions, and the foundation of women’s organizations everywhere. Women in most nations in Europe and in North America obtained the right to vote by the 1920s. The feminist movement resurged in Western Europe and the USA in the 1970s. Although the second wave of feminism was intended to attain ‘the freedom of women,’ different groups had differing thoughts on how to do it. Liberal women advocated better equality laws and the reform of schools, churches, and media. The third wave of feminism relates mostly to the Americans in the 1990s and reacted to the pushback from conservative media and politicians that announced the end of feminism. In Susan Faludi’s book Backlash, the term ‘backlash’ is popularised. Women’s rights should not be seen as special rights: they are human rights enshrined in international human rights and other documents, including the rights to freedom from discrimination, to life, to torture, to privacy, access to health, to decent living conditions, to safety, and much more. Women’s rights are not to be considered special rights.
