As an answer this student wrote the following: "The feminist movement is divided into three waves. The first wave began in the mid 1800's with a focused effort on eradicating race and class bias in terms of securing the vote for women and the right to participate in society as full citizens. The second wave of feminism in the 1960's and 1970's focused on social and economic reforms particularly with regards to increased educational and occupational opportunities for all women. The founding of a number of national organizations during this time still exists today, thus aligning all women's rights closely to those of their male counterparts. The third wave of feminism is represented today by those women who are in their 20's and 30's. They see themselves as redressing the mistakes of the second wave, although most do not label themselves as feminists.
