The history of feminism is divided into <a href="https://www.history.com/news/feminism-four-waves" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">four</a> waves. Each wave had a different aim and occurred in a different time period. Exact dates are elusive, but broadly, the first wave spanned the 1800s and the early 1900s, the second wave occurred from the 1960s to the 1980s, the third wave from the 1990s to the early 2000s, and the fourth wave continues from then to the present. The focus of this article is the second wave. Where the first wave was concerned mainly with legal issues, namely women’s suffrage and property rights, the second wave <a href="https://www.womenshistory.org/exhibits/feminism-second-wave" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">sought</a> to effect social reform by focusing upon sexuality, abortion, gender stereotypes, sexual violence toward women, and patriarchal institutions and religious practices. The second wave achieved a plethora of social and legal victories and brought men and women ever closer to equal footing. <a href="https://baos.pub/the-vatican-banned-book-that-inspired-second-wave-feminism-b517b2da189d">Click Here</a>
