In this master's thesis, I first define feminism and describe the beginnings of the idea of women's equality. Then, the thesis is divided into four major chapters, which coincide with the four waves of feminism. Each of these chapters begins with a historical overview and the demands made by women during the respective period. Within the chapters, I then continue with the successes and visible social changes in each wave or period. The main topics are fashion, contraception, divorce, the female body, etc., which I try to connect with the current state of affairs.
