- The First Wave of feminist political theory emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on women’s suffrage and legal rights. This wave concentrated on securing basic civil and political rights for women, primarily through gaining the right to vote. Key figures include suffragists like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Their efforts culminated in the suffrage movement’s success, leading to significant legal changes and increased political participation for women. The First Wave laid the groundwork for challenging traditional gender roles and advocating for women’s equality within the existing political and social structures. While criticized for its limited scope, it set the stage for subsequent waves of feminism that would address broader issues like reproductive rights and social inequalities.
