University of Basra organizes a seminar on feminist movements in the United States of America
The Department of History at the College of Education for Girls organized a seminar entitled Feminist Movements in the United States of America 1960-1990, presented by the lecturer.
Yousra Imad Muhammad Saeed Al-Taha.
The seminar discussed the historical perspective of understanding feminism and its emergence in certain periods as movements, visions, ideas, and demands for rights at the time of the French Revolution.
The seminar touched on the fact that in 1960, feminist movements and organizations gradually began to exercise their activities, coinciding with the marginalization that women were subjected to after World War II, and as a result, many other new organizations were established that supported women’s demands and rights.
The seminar added that the 1980s witnessed a decline in feminist activity, as its issues focused on legal equality, reproductive rights, and economic opportunities. However, from the 1990s until the present time, American women have had political participation and their demands for world peace, not only within the United States of America, but also at the global level.
