When do you think that the "first wave" of feminism occurred?
We've had many feminists in world history. Hatshepsut proclaimed herself pharaoh of Egypt about 1479 B.C. Cleopatra was queen of Egypt over 2,100 years ago. Boudica led British troops against the Romans over 2,000 years ago. Abigail Adams urged her husband to "remember the ladies" as he was helping draft the U.S. Constitution in the late 1770s.
Why did women start fighting for their rights? They were people who were denied ordinary rights in a male-dominated world.
