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.

What did feminism lead too?

Your question is flawed. what 'did' it lead to suggests that it is something in the past. Feminism is still in process today, women are not yet equal to men in all aspects of life, therefore the movement has not finished.

If you are ridiculous enough to need a black and white answer, the first thing it accomplished was women getting the vote. in 1911, women over the age of 21 and who had a certain income could vote. In 1928, women received the same voting rights as men.

Was there a different in all three wave of feminism?

First wave feminism lasted from the 1840s until the 1920s. It was largely started by the the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, and was focused for the most part on getting women the vote. With the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, the movement lost momentum, and floundered until the advent of second wave feminism in the 1960s. Second feminism dealt with equality in job opportunity and pay, and was motivated by the discontent many women felt after having been pushed out of the workforce and back into the home after men returned from the Second World War. Second wave feminism also dealt with reproductive rights, and saw victory with the outcome of Roe v. Wade in 1973. Second Wave feminism continued until the 1980s, and then evolved into third wave feminism that continued to fight for issues like reproductive rights and employment issues, but also sought to reconcile itself with women who had largely been ignored in first and second wave feminism, which were largely middle-class white women's movements. Third wave feminism began working to solve issues faced by women of color, queer women, women with disabilities, working class women, and to include them in the larger feminist movement.
