From the suffragettes marching for voting rights to modern digital activists demanding systemic change, this exploration of feminism's four major waves reveals how the movement has evolved over two centuries. The article traces feminism's transformation from its early focus on basic legal rights through the cultural revolutions of the 1960s, the rise of intersectional thinking in the 1990s, and today's social media-driven activism. By examining each wave's unique contributions and challenges, readers gain deep insight into how feminist movements have progressively expanded their scope from seeking basic legal equality to addressing complex social, cultural, and economic inequalities. This comprehensive historical analysis demonstrates how each generation of feminists has built upon previous achievements while adapting their strategies to confront the unique challenges of their time, ultimately weaving a rich tapestry of ongoing struggle for gender equality worldwide.
