Abstract
The term feminism includes both a doctrine of equal rights for women as well as an ideology for social transformation to make a better world for women. It began with the legal rights ( voting, property) and continued to add new dimensions to create an equality with the male. It has tried to keep itself as par with the male so that its place in the society remains formidable. It has been divided into different time periods called as waves. The first wave continued from the nineteenth century and continued till the world war II. The transformation to the second wave came with the statement by one of the first voices of feminism Simone Beauvoir.
