Feminism is defined as the theory of political, economic and social equality of both standard sexes. The feminist movement in America began in the late 1800s and spread into the early 1900s. In the early days of the feminist movement, also known as women's suffrage, conventions were held to try to convince people that women deserved equal rights. Those women and their supporters fought hard for all the rights they now possess. But it didn't happen overnight, it took hundreds of years, and there are still some inequalities throughout the United States. There have been many great feminist role models such as: Susan B. Anthony, Margaret Sanger, and Eleanor Roosevelt. These women have worked hard and from the beginning of feminism to the modern generations of young women, the ideology has always been one of equality, but over the millennium this has changed to women wanting to be better than their male counterparts. After analyzing the history of feminism and the changes in modern feminism, I began to wonder when all these changes began and when all these new variations of feminism appeared in modern culture. I'm starting to research this topic and there could be many reasons for all these new coined terms that distort and reshape the definition of feminism. When I started looking at the information that was presented, I believe I was able to discover three different reasons that could be causing the changes. Three reasons that could be the main causes of change in feminism are differences in time periods, changes in role models, and change in ideology. The first time period I would like to talk about was the 1920s in America. The 1920s......middle of paper......hael. "The Feminism of the Roaring Twenties." Suite101. Np, 8 December 2013.
