Social Mvmts: Feminism & Gender Equality

The Western history of the feminist movement is generally conceived of as having three distinct waves, spanning from the 19th century to the present. This board explores moments from each of these waves. For even more images about gender as a fundamental dimension of inequality, check out our boards under the title "Gender."
