There were hundreds.

<There was hundreds of players in the woman's liberation movement but it ask's for one major player which is "Gloria Steinem">

Might be because of the statue of several US military female nurses that was added after the wall was built. That was the only time that a "women's issue" was brought up.

Like most things in life, the "wall" was supposed to be a NON-politically correct simple memorial. Then came the statue of three soldiers (representing three races); then came the female nurses (representing women); there was talk of a K-9 statue representing the nearly 5,000 US war dogs that served in Vietnam; of which 43 were killed in action. Fair is fair, the US military canines deserve a statue near the wall too! They truly were "man's best friend" in the Vietnam War.

Feminists wear whatever they want to wear - that's the benefit of allowing people to have a choice to dress as they want without being judged or abused. Men, women, and trans individuals who are feminists may wear bikini's, mini-skirts, suit and tie, pretty lacy floral dresses, jeans and tshirt, burkas, lab coats, priests robes, or go around nude.

Feminists are not irritating - what is irritating is the idea that some people think a movement seeking equality is 'irritating'. Feminism is a necessity within society, it's needed as long as there is a lack of equality between the sexes.

Though the wife of bath is often associated with feminism, she has little to do with the movement. In her prologue, she often speaks of her ability of using words to manipulate her five husbands. Yet, this presents a special problem. Words and language usually derive their meaning from the society from which they were born. The Wife of Bath lives in a patriarchal society. Therefore, she can only defend her views through the use of a vernacular, a completely self-defeating attempt at autonomy. No true feminist would fall victim to such a fallacy. The character herself is mainly a satire created by Chaucer.

Schlafly believed that feminists were undermining traditional family values.

I heard its Both

just like a regular feminist critic

The women's right movement actually started in the early 1900's with the movement to have women gain the right to vote. Susan B. Anthony was one of the early movement leaders.

conflict perspective

Feminists are not evil. But they are misunderstood. Feminists are essentially anyone, woman or man, who believes that women should have the same rights as men. Those who consider themselves feminists, however, are actively trying to make the livelihoods of women equal to those of men. They are trying to make it so that female employees get the same salary as male employees for the same job. So that women get the same respect & treatment as men do in daily life. They are fighting to get women in third world countries basic human rights. Feminists are trying to make the world an equal place for both men & women alike to live in. There are a lot of myths about feminists. Those myths stem from a small percentage of feminists whose views have, unfortunately, created the negative way most people view all feminists. This small portion of feminists believe that all men are evil. They basically hate men. They feel that all the evil in the world is attributed to men &, truthfully, would be thrilled if all men just disappeared off the face of the earth & they could live in a world where men did not exist. They are known as the "radical-lesbian-feminists" & their incredibly extreme views have adversely effected the way people view not only feminists, but lesbians as well. It is why a great deal of people still believe that lesbians hate men, which is absolutely not true. Many of these women, if not most, are/were not even lesbians, just women who, probably because of childhood experiences, hate men. That is one myth right there. A lot of people believe that all feminists are lesbians, & that is not true. Many straight women, bi women & many men are feminists. Feminists come in all races, creeds, colors, sexes... Many celebrities are feminists. Another myth which is held by a lot of people is that all feminists are dirty, unkempt, unhygienic, etc. This is also untrue as feminists do, in fact, take regular showers, baths, & take care of themselves. Until recently, I believed most of those myths & negative stereotypes which are placed on feminists. Until I learned otherwise, that is. I knew nothing of feminists except what I had always heard/been told. I pretty much thought they were evil myself. I didn't particularly like them & disagreed with pretty much everything they stood for. That was when I knew absolutely nothing of what they stood for. After I became a little more informed, however, I found that I actually do agree with most, if not all, of what they stand for. You should try doing some research on feminists yourself if you still believe they are evil. Try an encyclopedia, google-ing it, wiki-ing it... & you will find some more info on feminists. It depends on what you mean by feminist.

gender isssues is imperative when it comes to the development of acountry. it brings equal power for both male and female.

it made abortion legal (apex)

It didn’t. Women went back to the house and raising children after the war. It will be 40 years before there is a women’s movement.

Radical feminism actually seeks to destroy gender inequality by dismantling oppressive institutions.
