Women''s movement is a group effort, chiefly by women, that seeks to improve women''s lives or the lives of others. Probably the best-known women''s movement is that engaged in political efforts to change the role and status of Women in society. Such political movements by women on their own behalf are often referred to as feminist movements (see FEMINISM). Women''s groups have also worked to help others, primarily through religious and charitable activities. Whether political, religious, or charitable, the women''s movement has sought to achieve greater social, economic, and political involvement for women.
Throughout history, women have usually had fewer rights and a lower social status than men. The traditional role of wife and mother dominated, and most women''s lives centred around their households. A women''s movement first developed during the 1800''s in Europe and the United States and then spread to other parts of the world.
The first women''s movement arose largely in response to the coming of modern urban and industrial society. The industrial age brought great economic and political changes, creating upheaval in women''s traditional roles and causing women to question their status and situation. This first wave of the women''s movement concentrated primarily on gaining voting rights for women.Write your abstract here.
