Feminism has a transforming history, characterized by key occasions which have shaped the movement for gender equality. The first wave of feminism began in the late 1880s and early 1900s and legal issues were its main concern. A crucial point was the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, where Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, among others, produced the Declaration of Sentiments demanding equality for women. The next important event was John Stuart Mill’s essay “The Subjection of Women” published in 1869 that argued for women’s suffrage and gender equality. In this respect, it led to the crowning of the first wave when American women won on their right to vote through the adoption of the 19th amendment in 1920 into American constitution. The second wave began from as early as nineteen sixties until eighties with wider inclusiveness for instance reproductive rights, workplace fairness, equalities in law among others. This included Betty Friedan’s publication “The Feminine Mystique” (1963) and establishing National Organization for Women (NOW) (1966).
