The document discusses the three waves of women's emancipation, beginning with the first wave in the late 19th century which focused on gaining women the rights to employment, education, and suffrage. The second wave in the 1960s-1970s aimed for equality between men and women on political, social, and professional levels as well as raising awareness of oppression. The third wave since the 1990s continued second wave goals while also questioning masculinity and supporting LGBTQ+ movements. In conclusion, it examines the current status of women.
