divided into three waves. The first feminist wave was in the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, the second was in the 1960s and 1970s, and the third extend from
the 1990s to the present. Feminism has altered predominant prespectives in a wide range
of areas within western society, changing from culture to law. A lot of feminist activist
have campaigned for womens legal rights to bodily, integrity and an otonomy. During
much of this history, most feminist movements and theories had leaders who were
predominant middle-class white women from Western Europe and North America

races have proposed alternative feminisms because of her statement, many women from
different background or races participated in this feminist movements including Black
Feminist, such as Angela and Alice Walker as the represents for black women.

Feminism theory emerged from the feminist. it was shared and developed by
those women who have the role in this movements. First is Simone De Beauvoir, she
was an outspoken political activist, writer and social theorist, second is Eleanor
Roosevelt, she was the first lady to take on responsibilities beyond merely hosting and
entertaining in the white house. and third is Coco Chanel, she was the owner of
CHANEL, she brought the comfort of mens apparel to womens fashion. Besides of
those women, there was plenty of feminist even until now to bring the fairness for
women in the world.

In conclusion, feminism is the theory that examining about the equality of

degrees, it explain if women and men have no different, both of them have the equal
rights and opportunities.
