Blog Post #2: Do you think young women today embrace feminism in the same way that women of yesteryear did? Why/Why not?

I think that women embrace feminism today in a more broad and laid back way when compared to those in the past. I think a main reason is that major movements that contributed to the rise of feminism were more strong in the past then what they are today. Women of the yesteryear could be seen as the starters who paved the way for the feminists today. Those who rose up to a cause and initiated it which laid the groundwork for modern day feminists. The main ideas of feminism to me arose from the first wave and second wave feminists. The third wave of feminism, which what we have today, is more of a continuation of the work of the previous waves. I almost want to say that they embrace it less because they were not the main initiators of the feminist movement, and because they are continuing the work of others, it gives them less of an embrace over feminism or what it is to be a feminist. If third wave feminists initiated something that had the same impact or even a much more stronger one than those did years ago, I feel that they may have a greater embrace on feminism if they can see the impact of their actions.
