Some feminists argue that men cause and benefit from sexism; while others argue that all people are harmed by gender roles and therefore that feminism is for women and men. Feminists are persons of either sex, or females only in which case males may be profeminists who believe in feminism.In this essay i will approach various issues from a feminist point of view and look on those achievements and initiatives revolvimg around women’s rights.
The evolution of feminism started with the First-wave feminism which sought equality in property rights, changes in the marriage relationship, and, eventually, in women's sufferage, or women's right to vote.

It was often accused of orienting to upper middle-class white women and, sometimes, of biological essentialism. Third-wave feminism began in the 1980s or early 1990s and addresses feminism across class and race lines, as being grounded in culture rather than biology, and through many issues, so there's less concentration on particular issues.When most women started standing up...
