Feminism

Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women.It is the response to society's assumptions that women should be subservient to men. Until the emergence of feminism women were treated almost as objects.The theory feminism was introduced first in the 18th century, however  the suffragette movement helped women eventually  be on an equal level as men, by allowing them to do similar occupations such as management and supervisory postions.
Feminism started in the 18th century




This magazine cover links to feminism, this is because everyday ordinary women  and a  woman  such as beth ditto who are naked on the cover of a magazine would be seen as a voyeuristic because many people would not see her as being attractive or well toned. The reasons for my point are ; most men in the world are attractive to very skinny women beth ditto on this front cover is looking overweight. Also beth ditto is showing arm pit hair and this in not lady like and manly. As this picture clearly states beth ditto is very confident about herself and her body and she doesn’t seem to care what other people think about her including men.
