The Historical Development of the Feminist Movement
This chapter examines the historical development of the feminist movement, starting from the establishment of the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 to the emergence of radical feminism as a contrast to liberal feminism. It highlights the demands made by women's rights leaders, the growth of feminist agitation and political education, the exclusion of women from trade unions, and the division within the feminist movement. The chapter also explores the global shift towards multicultural feminism and the critiques against liberal feminism.
