Definition

  • Liberal feminism is acknowledged as the first feminist theory that focused on the importance of equality between men and women. All feminist theorizing has political goals, and the main aim of this perspective is the achievement of a fair and just society and the removal of any barriers that prevent the full equality of men and women.
