Vary.
First wave 1848-1920: women's suffrage
Second wave: 20th century: "the personal is political-focused on women's equality, women's rights in the workplace. During this time Title VII and Title IX were passed
Third wave: 1990s-attempted to address multiple, intersecting types of oppression and critiqued second wave for being white women's feminism. Focus more globally
Fourth wave: The wave is defined in various ways. Brazilian sociologists Solange Simões and Marlise Matos (2009) define the term as a process of gendered democratic institutionalization and policy making, which includes a "revitalization of a classic feminist rights agenda under the influence of transnational feminism and the globalization of local women's agendas" (p. 95). The fourth wave synthesizes the second wave's emphasis on equality and the third wave's focus on global inequality. Fourth-wave feminism has also been described as a movement without one cohesive cause, leader, or platform.
