Echos of Femanist Revolutions

Perhaps my favorite aspect of this last chapter in our text has to be the focus on feminism, specifically international feminism. It was not until 1975, after the International Women's Year was declared, that feminism was considered to be global issue. I found it interesting that the global feminist movement looked radically different depending on the country. I find a comparison between the feminist movement and the Echo's of Atlantic revolutions. Much like the echo's of Atlantic revolutions, many women across the globe began to understand their disadvantages and fight for equal rights. Although the enlightenment ideals of feminism began in the West, they quickly spread to the global south. These enlightenment ideals are still being fought for today and the parameters of these ideals have greatly extended beyond what the first revolutionaries had imagined.
