In this article I will explore the role of popular culture in the spread of feminist ideas, transcending organizations and activities recognized as feminists in the US in the second wave of feminism (from the 1960s to the early 1980s). Home I have accomplished this goal through a case study of three women in office during this period - author of "Sex and Single Girls", editor of "Metropolis" magazine Helen Gurley Brown, humor and newspaper Columnist Erma Bombeck and country music star Dolly Parton. Every woman has established a strategic public figure to duplicate and destroy gender norms. I analyzed these sentences - their writings, their role of character, and her body - parton, by her body - those made by these three women. Data comes from archives, newspapers, magazine articles, and various texts created by women themselves, such as books, newspaper columns, songs. This paper focuses on the work of self-recognized feminist organization and activists, challenging the mainstream story of the second wave of feminism, depicts white, middle class, heterosexual women who rely on privileged social status If you separate from other identity categories that create history of activities you can consider gender. Examining the second wave of the feminist epidemic will expand our understanding of how various people participate in feminist waves, including those who do not recognize the feminist organization. By observing the three women who are occupying public places in popular culture this paper explains how this feminist idea can be disseminated through the media, and this time he visited the United States at this time, You can access TV, radio, magazines or newspapers.
Popular feminism is the second observable feminist movement in Africa. This seems to be opposite to African intellectual feminism. Because it is rooted in the cultural experience and life experience of women in Africa. Therefore, popular feminism (as the name suggests) targets most African women, some of whom do not necessarily have culture. The inspiration and foundation of these women's feminists is the importance of women's food production in traditional African society and the role of women in the liberation movement against colonialism. Thus, based on the historically important and influential role of African women in food production and the concept of daily activities of society before colonial period, popular feminism often encounters for gender equality To do. In the liberation movement, women also emphasized how to fight men with trenches, but post colonial countries downgraded to role as caregivers and restricted their role in governance (20).
The goal of liberal feminism as a social movement and political movement and radical feminist feminism is to make women and men culturally as well as socially and legally. Various kinds of feminism focus on various goals and problems, but the ultimate goal of feminism is to eliminate inequality among men and women, which has an adverse effect on women in society. The problems and targets that a feminist may possess may vary depending on the social organization and the type of economy. The focus is a conflict between feminist ideals and assumptions and demands behind feminism. As time goes on, feminism has experienced tremendous change, which makes it impossible for a series of widely accepted feminist ideas, but the Webster dictionary (2007, p. 230) makes feminism sex It is defined as. Political, economic and social equality theory. Therefore, feminism is based on the concept of gender equality. On the other hand, feminists are also defined as "one person."
