Major Goals of the Feminist Movement Across Time
Basic Assumption:
“Throughout history, women have struggled to gain equality, respect, and
the same rights as men. This has been difficult because of patriarchy, an
ideology in which men are superior to women and have the right to rule
women.”
Definition of Feminism:
Feminism is a movement that includes women and men who wish to see a
world where discrimination based on gender and the idea that men are
superior to women is abolished.

Feminist Theory Argues…
Women are oppressed by patriarchy economically, politically, socially,
and psychologically.
Women are marginalized, ridiculed, disempowered, abused, exploited,
disrespected, and objectified by the patriarchal society.
All western civilization (including American) is deeply rooted in patriarchy.
Gender issues play a part in every aspect of the human experience.
