Feminism is a philosophy granting equal rights and opportunities to women. Roots of the movement include the Women's Suffrage movement of the early 1900's and the Women's Liberation movement of the 1960's and 1970's.
An Equal Rights Ammendment was proposed in 1972, but was unratified. Opponents of the ammendment cited the following problems: the integration of single-sex schools; the possible recognition of homosexual marriage; and the revocation of laws that protect women in dangerous jobs, like factory or mining work.
The feminist movement suffered in the 1980s with the rise of [[Post-Feminism]] which stresses that women have a choice.
Feminism has made a resurgence in 1990s and early years of 21st century as the movement is spreading internationally in [[Asia]] and the [[Middle East]].
