Include a section on "New Age Feminism" and/or "Millennial Feminism" as these are terms that have been coming up a lot these days. It is similar to the fourth wave, but differs somewhat. It celebrates and accommodates the differences between men and women and rejects man-hating.

Redo the beginnings of the feminist movement. The movement found its origins during the Enlightenment across Europe, not the early part of the 19th century--by that time the Enlightenment had passed.
Organize each chronoloical section to have common theory or trends in every nation/region, and then specific information for each under the appropriate heading.
Strengthen the treatment of 19c feminism (rather sketchy as it currently stands).

Carefully integrate with Feminism (replace 'origins' there with brief summary, and transfer most of it here), and probably other subarticles, such as feminist writers. Develop the biographies to indicate better where they fit in with this page, and link back

The entire article, with thanks for a few exceptions, needs citations. -

The early history section dealing in particular with slavery-era women and writings (say, Mary Wollstonecraft through Susan B. Anthony) must make some effort to acknowledge and address the fact that the concept of "women's rights" was primarily centered on and limited to the experiences of white, free, middle-to-upper-class women, not ALL women equally.

Cite articles that criticize the wave metaphor. Linda Nicholson's "Feminism in Waves: Useful Metaphor or Not" and Becky Thompson's "Multiracial Feminism: Recasting the Chronology of Second Wave Feminism" are two suggested articles to begin wih.

Add a section with critiques of the wave metaphor after the section on Fourth Wave Feminism.

This article is substantially duplicated by a piece in an external publication. Please do not flag this article as a copyright violation of the following source:
I removed the following passage (which I have, evenso, considerably cleaned up) from the terminology paragraph under the "Post-war and second wave" heading:
(This terminology is not completely uniform among all authors. T.Z. Lavine maintains that the "First wave" in the United States was the Women's Rights Movement from the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention to the onset of the
American Civil War in 1861; the "Second wave," or Woman Suffrage Movement, from the founding of the
National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1890 to 1924 after the amendment to grant the vote was ratified; the "Third wave," the "Women's Movement," from 1964.[1])
I removed it because it only confuses an already very garbled article, and because the source seems obscure, and because the info, if it belongs in Wikipedia at all, belongs in a section or article that focuses on the U.S. All in all, I personally think Wikipedia can probably live without it.

Shouldn't there be 4 (not 3?) bullet points, in the lede?
The "History" section of the "Infobox" or "sidebar"
Template:Feminism sidebar -- which is present in this article! -- has four entries in its "Waves" sub-section ("
First", "
Second", "
Third", and "
Fourth"). Also, [the
19th to 21st centuries section of] this article itself -- (see the version that is mentioned [and linked to] above) -- includes a sub-section called "
Fourth wave".
Yet, for some reason (perhaps inertia? going all the way back to when the third wave was the 'current' / 'most recent' wave?) the bullet points in the lede of this article (see the version mentioned above) only include the first, second and third waves.
Given this inconsistency, it does not take much of an expert to suspect that there might be an opportunity for improvement here. For example, someone could add a fourth bullet point, (after the three bullet points that already exist, in the "top" part of this article ... that is, the part of this article before the "
Early feminism" section) and include there some more content, analogous to what is explained in the three bullet points that are already there. That editor might choose to be guided to some extent (if appropriate) by reading what it says in the sub-section of this article called "
Fourth wave"; probably
including the fact that said sub-section begins (in part) with a
LINK to [the article about] "
Fourth-wave feminism".
