the first dating from 19th and early twentieth century that fought for overturning legal obstacles to equality, voting rights, property rights etc..

the second wave activity began during the early 1960s and lasted through the late 1970s focused on sexuality, family, the workplace, reproductive rights

the third wave began in the 1980s and continues to the present. This wave embraces contradictions, conflict and irrationality and attempts to accommodate diversity and change but most importantly no all-encompassing single feminist idea, no advertising hatred toward men etc..

Briefly, the growth of the feminist movement shows the growth of us women with time.. after centuries of oppression the first wave could have not been anything short of explosive and thanks to it women gained their most primitive legal rights, however today after "most" women have found their rightful place in societies feminism drops its "essentialism" properties and becomes a movement that encompasses every woman's own definition and perspective.

The article also predicted that when Eris enters Taurus women rights would be much more stable.

I may try to hunt for that article later on the web. But as for now, time to get my dress out of the dryer. (I like that better than ironing to get wrinkles out. lol)

hmm, well although some women gained all their basic legal rights sadly many are still struggling.. Maybe Eris in Aries is what they just need to get down to business..

Looks like Eris has been in Aries since 1923 and will stay there until 2044.

"Now, for the girlsc Girls born under ERIS in ARIES had an extra MARS component in all their charts. You can think of this as girls born in the mid-1920Œs who grew up and married in the 1940Œs, during the war. Meanwhile, the girls born in the 1940Œs and 1950Œs grew up in the 1960Œs and 1970Œs, in those years that girls were in the Free Speech movement, the sexual revolution, burning their bras and running away from home, often living in co-ed dorms or out in the communes. This was unprecedented, heady behavior. Aries rules the head. These females were using their heads more than previous generations, albeit not always successfully. But Eris in Aries explains (1) Womenfs Liberation, (2) the rise of Lesbianism. Both of these, formal & informal societal/sexual changes of emphasis, happened as Eris entered the 2nd Decanate of Aries, i.e., 10, 11 deg.

This also coincided w/ the gHippyh & anti-war movement of the mid- to late 1960Œs. Eris moves SO slowly, it may influence specific degrees. I know I am looking at history through my particular memories of colleges in California in the United States; if Ifd lived in some other part of the country, or in any other part of the world, no doubt my experiences and those of the people around me would have been very different."

"Eris will enter Venus-ruled Taurus in 2044, a bit too late for some of us to enjoy. But implying that if wefre still here, times may improve. That information wonft help very much to those people wondering about paying the rent next month."

lol
