4th Wave of Feminism: The Rebel

I know one of the essay questions on the final study guide poses the question of whether or not we think feminism is dead, and recently I came across this article which discusses the fourth wave of feminism. Not only does this article negate the idea that feminism is dead, but it also asserts that today we are experiencing a fourth wave of feminism known as the "rebel women." This article is wonderful and I would encourage everyone to take a peek at it (although I know it's finals time so maybe later), but it discusses the increase in protests, marches, and campaigns within the past year for women's rights all over the world. The article also briefly discusses the history of feminism, and gives an abundance of examples regarding how women are changing the world one protest at a time. This article really is extremely interesting, and as it is rather lengthy I skimmed a lot of it but once finals are over I plan on reading it all. It is quite uplifting and inspiring that women today are still finding their voices and standing up for relevant issues such as, "pay gap, childcare costs, and pregnancy discrimination." I think this article is extremely important to our class as well as gender studies in general and is really worth a read. Enjoy!
