Detailed explanation-1: -The first wave of feminism took place in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, emerging out of an environment of urban industrialism and liberal, socialist politics. The goal of this wave was to open up opportunities for women, with a focus on suffrage.
Detailed explanation-2: -The third wave is traced to the emergence of the riot grrrl feminist punk subculture in Olympia, Washington, in the early 1990s, and to Anita Hill’s televised testimony in 1991 (to an all-male, all-white Senate Judiciary Committee) that African-American judge Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her.
Detailed explanation-3: -The third wave of feminism was a period of political activism that sought to expand civil rights and social equality for women. It succeeded first-and second-wave feminism. Third-wave feminism is generally dated from the early 1990s to the 2010s when the rise of social media inaugurated fourth-wave feminism.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is typically separated into three waves: first wave feminism, dealing with property rights and the right to vote; second wave feminism, focusing on equality and anti-discrimination, and third wave feminism, which started in the 1990s as a backlash to the second wave’s perceived privileging of white, straight women.
