Bonus- Question 13- Feminist waves

Here is an image that I can relate the three waves of feminism to.The context of the right magazine cover is that Halle Berry is featuerd as the sexiest woman of the year.

First wave feminism is purely quantitative. It is generally just about basic human rights. It is almost the foundations of the second and third waves as it is the most broad of the three. The advertisement displays Berry as this sexually powerful woman as she is compared to the President. She is appropriating Dominance and because she is compared to the President, it gives her choices and represents power. That is an example of third wave feminism, which builds off of the first wave.

The third wave was more about choice, allowing woman to do what they wanted. It was trying to fix the issues regarding how men are always the dominant ones, especially in the workplace environment. The second wave was more about equal recognition, not really about surpassing men in the boardroom etc. but to be on an equal playing ground. Which fixed the first wave's generalizations about human rights. The image signifies that women can become a sexually attractive, boardroom executive based from the textual elements from the ad. But overall it is more of a third wave picture.

As the waves get higher, the rights women have seem to increase. They build upon one another and allow women to become equally represented to the point of dominating over men.
