Fourth-Wave Feminism sees long-standing gender-based disparity in power and representation.[1] It is often attributed to a “girl power”. " This wave has seen a revived interest of the histories of feminism from the nineteenth century to the 1910s, postcolonial feminism, radical feminism, and queer feminism."
Quarter-Wave Feminism is about influencing mainstream cultural discourse. Usually it does not focus on grassroots or legal change so much as societal change. Modern feminists have found that movies, TV shows, novels and other pop culture can have a profound influence on how people think about social issues.
Motives Fourth Wave Feminism:
Fourth Wave Feminism seeks to expand the idea even further and make it more inclusive to achieve equality, especially for diverse populations including those of color, LGBTQ+ and more intersectional groups. Keeping in mind the background history of how sexism goes all the way back to after the Industrial Revolution, there were two different waves of feminism that have occurred since then which are Second and Third Wave Feminism. Ones self-identify with either one is simple: if you truly identify with any sense or rhetoric that was presented by Second Wave feminists since they had focused so much on economic equality then you might be a Second Waver, but Third Waver's thought processes lie with women's suffrage with other social reform activities.
This waves represent improvements over previous ones. The fourth wave is inspired by structural concepts of masculinity and sexism, and focuses on critical analysis of race, sexual expression, love and tenderness, as well as professional achievement.
The first wave is marked by a requirement for women to get the right to vote at the turn of the 20th century. The second wave talks about equal power in society. The third wave discusses violence against women, media representation and female sexuality; in relation to its concepts it links competing interests in class and gender with activities traditionally thought of as male-dominated—that is politics, moneymaking, heterosexual sex--being made more accessible to girls.
Through this three waves feminism has expanded from being simply "women's suffrage" to tackling more complex oppression complex
