Feminism 101
https://feministfrequency.com/resources/feminism-101/[quote]Feminist Frequency, as our name implies, utilizes a specifically feminist approach in our critical analysis of pop culture. However, the term feminism can be confusing as there are multiple viewpoints on its definition as well a lot of misinformation about its meaning.
In order to help offer a primer on feminism, we’ve complied a summary of definitions and resources for folks who want to learn more. We don’t claim to represent the beliefs of each individual, self-identified feminist, and we don’t want to. We also recognize that, because feminism is about learning and growing, resources about feminism must allow for and encourage such growth. As such, we hope this page will be used to help build a scaffold of understanding from which conversations can move forward.
We have divided these resources up into multiple categories:[/quote]

[quote][b]History of Feminism[/b] Feminism is generally thought of in the western world as comprising of three waves (early-to-mid 1800s-1960s, 1960s-late 1980s, late 1980s-present). Often the waves are characterized by a primary activist movement (i.e.: the first wave is described as focusing on suffrage & voting rights), however there is also conflation of waves with historical time periods. For instance, many scholars describe anyone living today identifying as a feminist as being third wave, regardless of delineated beliefs. Just as with other movements in history, the waves influenced one another and gave rise to new platforms of feminist activism. One such important carryover from the second wave is exemplified by the phrase “the personal is political”. Taken from the title of a 1970 essay, this flagship statement challenged the notion that social systems and structures don’t have an impact on personal decision-making (and vice versa). It offered ideological momentum to push forward reproductive rights and gave root to identity politics which largely inform the third wave’s activism. None of this is to say that patriarchy didn’t exist before 1800, or that women didn’t fight against gender-based oppression outside of the global north/west. However, the use of the term “feminism” is a relatively new concept in human history, and was credited by and large to the efforts of white women in the U.S. (because oppression!). If you’re a history buff, these resources can offer a more comprehensive lesson on feminism through the ages: [u][url=https://-blam!-.org/article/everything-about-feminism-you-wanted-to-know-but-were-afraid-to-ask]Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Feminism But Were Too Afraid To Ask[/url][/u] [u][url=http://www.feminism101.com/introduction.html] Feminism 101: The Essentials[/url][/u][/quote]
