SORU:

When and how was the first “wave” of the feminist movement observed? 


CEVAP:

The first “wave” of the feminist movement was observed in the 19th century (1800s and early 1900s); and it was concentrated on the fight for the same legal and political rights as men, such as women’s suffrage, equal opportunity rights,
parenting rights, as well as rights related to marriage and their right to vote (Evans, 1997: 25). Although the feminist movements in that period took place
in different parts of the world, the United States of America (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK) had become crucial geographical points for women to fight for equal rights with men. Whilst in the 1800s women in the USA fought for the
fulfillment of their individual rights under the guarantee of the Declaration of Independence, the women in the UK campaigned for suffrage.
