The feminist movement refers to a series of campaigns for reforms on issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, voting rights, sexual harassment, and sexual violence. The goals of the movement vary from country to country depending on the local main issues.
The feminist movement has brought a variety of social and cultural change, its impact touching familial relations, religion, the place of women in society, gendered language, and relationships between men and women.
The book highlights post-feminism, a reaction against some of the contradictions and absences of second-wave feminism. The term generally refers to the belief that feminism has succeeded in its goal of ameliorating sexism, making it fundamentally opposed to the third-wave intention of broadening feminist struggle. Post-feminism may be closer to so-called fourth-wave feminism, a term primarily associated with Hillary Clinton's campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2007-2008.
