Feminism

1st wave___

through only confined to westerners, white people, and the middle class, laid a strong foundation for upcoming years which were going to witness even stronger force of feminists, women had no equal pay.

2 wave____

The second wave started with the protest against the beauty pageant, ‘Miss America’ accusing it of objectifying women. In 1968, the beauty pageant was held in the Atlantic City. ‘Redstockings’, a group of radical feminists organized a counter pageant to mock the original one. They crowned a sheep as the Miss America and threw all the tyrannical objects, as per their views, such as makeup, heels, and bras into the trash can. The other issues pertaining to this wave were the reproductive rights and sexuality.

3 wave_____

The third wave of the mid-90s was a modernistic approach to secure equal rights for women and eradicate social and political inequality. The notions revolving around the radical waves of feminism were decimated along with the concepts of ‘gender roles’, sexuality and body. The young feminists were wearing the same objects with pride which got bigoted by their predecessors. The heels, the lipsticks, and the cleavage were now associated with a woman’s identity and her sexual liberation.

Context 
focus on the struggle of r equal pay, equal rights at work and equal representation in political bodies as well as liberation from males 

During this wave, women were no longer represented as the victims who needed a fix. It was more focused on equal rights both for women as well as for men. It aimed at crushing gender-boundaries where both the sexes would flourish in a creative and liberal environment. It was more independent, more advanced and more modern.

cricket

in February 2014 it was announced that England would get their first full-time professional women's cricket team, like the men have.

It's a big difference from what it was like in 1995 for the players.

Football is one of the sports which has the biggest difference in pay between male and female players. In fact in almost a third of all sports women win less prize money than men, and football is one of them.

For example, for winning last year's football World Cup in Brazil, Germany's team received about £23m - but this year the USA team that won the Women's World Cup only received around £1.3m.
