Answer: The main similarity to todays and the 1st and 2nd wave of feminism is equal pay and job equality. The first wave, occurring in the 19th and early 20th century, was mainly concerned with women's right to vote. The second wave, in the 1960s and 1970s, refers to the women's movement for equal legal and social rights. The feminist today is more about domestic violence, equal pay, women's suffrage, sexual harassment, and sexual violence.
