关于女权主义的英语作文

Feminism is a discour that involves various movements,

theories, and philosophies which are concerned with the issue of

gender difference, advocate equality for women, and campaign

for women's rights and interests. According to some, the history

of feminism can be divided into three waves. The first wave was

in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the cond was

in the 1960s and 1970s and the third extends from the 1990s to

the prent. Feminist theory emerged from the feminist

is manifest in a variety of disciplines such as

feminist geography, feminist history and feminist literary

criticism.

Feminism has altered predominant perspectives in a wide

range of areas within Western society, ranging from culture to

law. Feminist activists have campaigned for women's legal rights

(rights of contract, property rights, voting rights); for women's

right to bodily integrity and autonomy, for abortion rights, and

for reproductive rights (including access to contraception and

quality prenatal care); for protection from domestic violence,

xual harassment and rape;for workplace rights, including

maternity leave and equal pay; and against other forms of

discrimination.

During much of its history, most feminist movements and

theories had leaders who were predominantly middle-class white

women from Western Europe and North America. However, at

least since Sojourner Truth's 1851 speech to American feminists,

women of other races have propod alternative feminisms. This

trend accelerated in the 1960s with the Civil Rights movement in

the United States and the collap of European colonialism in

Africa, the Caribbean, parts of Latin America and Southeast Asia.

Since that time, women in former European colonies and the

Third World have propod "Post-colonial" and "Third World"

feminisms. Some Postcolonial feminists, such as Chandra Talpade

Mohanty, are critical of Western feminism for being ethnocentric.

Black feminists, such as Angela Davis and Alice Walker, share this

view.

Since the 1980s Standpoint feminists argued that feminism

should examine how women's experience of inequality relates to

that of racism, homophobia, classism and the late

1980s and 1990s postmodern feminists argued that gender roles

are socially constructed,and that it is impossible to generalize

women's experiences across cultures and histories.
