The first feminist movement in Britain is often attributed to Mary Wollstonecraft, whose seminal work "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" published in 1792, laid the groundwork for feminist thought. Wollstonecraft advocated for women's education and equality, challenging the societal norms of her time. Her ideas inspired subsequent generations of women activists, contributing to the emergence of organized feminist movements in the 19th century. Other notable figures, such as the suffragists and suffragettes, further advanced the cause in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

It depends on what you regard as the "feminist movement". Some would consider that fighting for women's rights was a precursor to the main feminist movement of the 1970s. If this is the case, then the feminist movement arguably began with Dame Roma Mitchell whose influence led to the formation of the Women Law Students' Society, when she was not permitted to join the Law Students' Society because she was a woman. On 23 September 1965, Mitchell was made a Justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia in 1965, the first Australian woman to achieve this position. Pioneering the Australian women's rights movement, Mitchell was also the first woman in Australia to be a Queen's Counsel (1962).
