FEMINISM
In simple terms Feminism is about equality. Feminism embraces a wide range of political, social and philosophic ideals that emphasise equality and fairness between women and men. The Feminist movement includes numerous groups and organisations which are broadly united by a desire for social change and a stronger emphasis upon equality between the genders. Several waves of feminism have occurred since the late nineteenth century during which support for gender equality has grown worldwide and in particular throughout the Western hemisphere.
