What you should know about feminism.

Feminism is a social movement or political movement with ideologies that aim at equality of genders.

What exactly is feminism?
feminism is about all genders having equal rights and opportunities. It's about respecting diverse women's experiences, identities, knowledge and strengths, and striving to empower all women to realise their full rights.

What is the fight for?
The feminist movement (also known as the women's movement, or simply feminism) refers to a series of political campaigns for reforms on issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, women's suffrage, sexual harassment, and sexual violence, all of which fall under the label of feminism and the feminist movement. The movement's priorities vary among nations and communities, and range from opposition to female genital mutilation in one country, to opposition to the glass ceiling in another.

Who created feminism?
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (d. 1902) drafted the Seneca Falls Declaration outlining the new movement's ideology and political strategies. In its early stages, feminism was interrelated with the temperance and abolitionist movements and gave voice to now-famous activists like the African-American Sojourner Truth 


Who is the mother of Feminism?
The Mother of feminism - Gloria Steinem. There is no one who has championed women's rights more than Gloria Steinem. Dubbed the Mother of Feminism, she's a social activist, writer, editor and lecturer.

Who is the father of Feminism?
In late 14th- and early 15th-century France, the first feminist philosopher, Christine de Pisan, challenged prevailing attitudes toward women with a bold call for female education.

In the world today women are expected to be so many things and still be less than a man.
