[quote]If we travel back in time to when most academics claim that the feminist movement was born, the 1960's, the motto for feminists at the time was much closer to the latter definition given here. At that time, they believed women were subjugated and men had more power.[/quote]
Feminism has existed since the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848... And that's just in America.

Edited by SolanGoose: 6/2/2014 5:19:49 AMOne could argue that feminism existed since Joan of Ark. Or the Classical Greece period. What I am saying is: Feminism that we know today is a result of the feminist movement born in the 1960's. I don't deny that ideas and thoughts exactly like feminism can be found all throughout history, but it wasn't significant or a major influence until the 1960's. Feminist ideas used today are most related to the movement that sprung during the 1960's.
