Feminism in the United States

Feminism is aimed at defining, establishing, and defending a state of equal political, economic, cultural, and social rights for women. It has had a massive influence on American politics.[1][2] Feminism in the United States is often divided chronologically into first-wave, second-wave, third-wave, and fourth-wave feminism.[3][4]

As of 2023, the United States is ranked 17th in the world on gender equality.[5]
