Feminism doesn't always mean the same thing to everyone, and that's not surprising; what is a feminist issue for one culture might not apply to another. Given the vast scope of all human history, it would be impossible to try and fit everything a little "book" of feminism. Instead, I have chosen to give a brief outline of the history and goals of Western feminism, mainly in the UK, mainland Europe, and the US, concentrating specifically on the laws of the UK. Consider this a brief portrait of what feminism has looked like throughout the years, and issues that feminists have focused on and what they have achieved. I hope to demonstrate not only how far we've come but also how far we still have to go in order to achieve true equality. i also hope to point out the issues - subtle and not-so-subtle - still faced by women today.
FEMINISM IS DEFINED AS THE 'ADVOCACY OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS ON THE GROUND OF EQUALITY FOR THE SEXES.'
