Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The second wave of feminism, which emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, saw the development of feminist theory that explored the intersections of gender, race, and class. This wave of feminism was characterized by a focus on women's rights to control their own bodies and sexuality, and to have equal access to education and job opportunities. It was not a backlash against the first wave of feminism, nor did it seek to exclude men from positions of power. Women had already won the right to vote in many countries by this time, during the first wave of feminism.
