Abstract
feminism is defined by the Cambridge dictionary as "the belief that women should have the same economic, social, and political rights as men" . However, there is not a single definition for feminism. This notion is rather complex and controversial, and it cannot be fully comprehended in a few lines. This essay will deal with feminism and in the united states and in france. These countries are two of the most important in the history of feminism. However, they have rather different approaches of feminism. There is not just a single type of feminism but a number of different types of feminism, as implied by the titles of many books about feminism(s) such as New French Feminisms: an Anthology, edited by Elaine Marks in 1981. feminism comprises of a range of social, political and cultural theories, movements, and moral philosophies in relation with gender inequalities and with equal rights for women.
