What is feminism? What does it take to be called a feminist? Where did feminism come from? What is the origin of the feminist wave? In an unpredictable future, where will feminism go? …
Today, feminism has spread all over the world. The development of women's rights in each country has also embarked on a path of exploration with its own characteristics.
Understanding this history will definitely be a help to those who are engaged in feminist practice today and who are motivated and inspired by the global wave of feminism. Understanding history can be helpful to anyone.
Those things that we regard as "tradition" or "naturalistic" can all find their starting point and source in history, and once things have a beginning, they must have an end.
I hope that my young successors can also have an in-depth understanding of the history of feminism; and it is best to present the knowledge points in a "packaged" form to facilitate their reading and understanding. Based on this original intention, I wrote this book.

Summarize it this way: "Feminism is by no means encouraging women to act the way men do, or advocating the idea that weak people should become strong. What it pursues is that even if you are weak, you can still be respected."
Women should not be discriminated against because of their gender, nor should they be discriminated against because of their strength. Women are neither symbols nor nouns, but living and thoughtful individuals. The equality and respect that women need are the rights that individuals should have.
