What is new wave feminism?

New wave feminism, emerging in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, focuses on issues of intersectionality, inclusivity, and the diverse experiences of womanhood. It critiques traditional feminist frameworks for often centering white, middle-class women's perspectives and emphasizes the importance of race, sexuality, class, and other identities in the feminist discourse. This movement champions a broader range of concerns, including body positivity, sexual autonomy, and LGBTQ+ rights, striving for social justice and equality for all marginalized groups.
