Reflective analysis’- Mayra- “The significance of Feminist Movement”

The feminist movement was not only about women against men but also a political struggle to end sexist oppression. The root of sexist oppression is the family. In our family we learn to respect the men of the house or anyone that we are thought. We learn that there’s always somebody in control or someone who isn’t. For example in our house there’s always one parent more dominant than the other and it’s a pattern that keeps repeating itself. The feminist movement also fought for women equality. For example thanks to the feminist movement the women of today have the right to vote. The movement was also women overcoming oppression by men. The movement also though that if we could transform family relationships we can transform society. This movement was really important especially for women because it helped them fight for their rights and fight for equality.
