Feminism has had three waves in its history. Each wave is more complex because the goals and focus have changed in a changing society, which was made possible by a culture discussion broadcasting more voices. It is difficult to understand Feminist criticism in 2021. There has not been any scholarship or critical thought. Your dissertation will be on the third Wave and its definition.
