Description
Feminism: History, Theory, and Movements provides a comprehensive exploration of the origins, evolution, and diverse perspectives within feminist thought. Tracing the development of feminist theory from its roots in the 15th century through the three waves of feminism, the book delves into the key issues, ideologies, and movements that have shaped gender equality activism. It covers the fundamental principles of feminism, including its opposition to patriarchy, its calls for gender equality, and its various strands—liberal, Marxist, radical, and dual-system feminism. This work serves as an essential guide for understanding the complexities and diverse histories of feminism, with a focus on both Western and global perspectives.
