2. Feminism is a movement for equal rights for women.
People and activists who discussed or advanced women's equality prior to the existence of the feminist movement are sometimes
labelled protofeminist. Some scholars, however, criticize this term's usage. Some argue that it diminishes the importance of earlier
contributions, while others argue that feminism does not have a single, linear history as implied by terms such as protofeminist.

First wave feminism
In her autobiographical novel Ruth Hall (1854), American journalist Fanny Fern describes her own struggle to support her children
as a newspaper columnist after her husband's untimely death. First Wave
The 19th- and early 20th-century Anglosphere feminist activity that sought to win women's suffrage, female education rights, better
working conditions, and abolition of gender double standards is known as first-wave feminism.
Second wave feminism
"Second-wave feminism" identifies a period of feminist activity from the early 1960s through the late 1980s that saw cultural and
political inequalities as inextricably linked. The ideas and efforts of this era continue to coexist with third-wave feminism.
Third wave feminism
Third-wave feminism began in the early 1990s in response to what young women perceived as failures of the second-wave. It also
responds to the backlash against the second-wave's initiatives and movements. Third-wave feminism seeks to challenge or avoid
second-wave "essentialist" definitions of femininity,
Future fourth wave feminism
A fourth-wave of feminism is not currently acknowledged as a historical wave of feminism, but scholars have advocated for its
existence due to the lack of activism in other waves of feminism regarding our current cultural issues.

3. Anti Feminism
Antifeminism is broadly defined as ideological opposition to feminism. This opposition has
taken various forms across time and cultures. For example, antifeminists in the late 1800s
and early 1900s resisted women's suffrage, while antifeminists in the late 20th century
opposed the Equal Rights Amendment. Antifeminism may be motivated by the belief that
feminist theories of patriarchy and disadvantages suffered by women in society are
incorrect or exaggerated, that feminism as a movement encourages misandry and seeks to
harm or oppress men, or by general hostility towards women's rights.
19 century
The 19th century, the centerpiece of antifeminism was opposition to women's suffrage
21 century
Contemporary issues surrounding antifeminism include concerns of fairness in matters of
family law, regarding things like child custody, paternity liability, and child support.
