feminist parties  

Definition

  • Although feminism as a social movement dates back to the nineteenth century, feminist political parties are relatively recent phenomena in most countries. Feminist parties, like environmentalist parties, are oriented around specific political issues and concentrate on addressing the needs of women in the context of patriarchal and masculine political cultures.
