Abstract

The ideals of feminism – political, economic, and social equality between men and women – have existed since Mary Wollstonecraft'sA Vindication of the Rights of Woman(1792). Seeking the enfranchisement of women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, first‐wave feminists fought for political equality. In mid‐century, Simone de Beauvoir'sThe Second Sex(1949, trans. 1952) questioned the gender distinctions that left women second‐class citizens.
