Women are the equal and the basic part of the community. They were not given this right centuries ago but recently because of the liberalism and gender equality movements. The feminist movements of the 1960s have changed the concept of women worldwide and created reforms in the modern world of women. The paper’s main aim is to discuss women’s struggle to secure social, political, and economic equality with men.
It is known that women faced great challenges for their rights in the 20th century, and their aim was to be considered equal to men. The gender discrimination in the workplace has stressed the female gender completely as they were paid less. The feminist leaders have explained that they found themselves to be the ones who are making history. The women positively participated in the rallies based on getting equal opportunities and rights in the country’s society, politics and economy.
The equality was based on gender the women will have equal opportunity in every field of life including politics and professional career development. There were several discussions available on the internet including the women’s art revolution in which the enhancement of the view of feminist art was considered and it was one of the secret histories of the feminist world.
In a nutshell, it can be explained that women have started acting against the culture, ancient social norms, and other boundaries that affect their freedom. The black feminists also introduced some of the main issues, including child care, welfare, police repression, and the improvement of working conditions. Overall, everything seemed to be clear with the passage of time and society has accepted women’s equality with men, but in detail, people still have problems with women’s freedom and especially the anti-feminist leaders are considered highly.
