Navigating the third wave: Contemporary UK feminist activists and ‘third-wave feminism’

Abstract: Since the start of the new millennium in the UK, a range of new feminist activitiesnational networks, issue-specific campaigns, local groups, festivals, magazines and blogs-have been formed by a new constituency of mostly younger women and men. These new feminist activities, which we term 'third-wave' feminism, have emerged in a 'post-feminist' context, in which feminism is considered dead or unnecessary, and where younger feminists, if represented at all, are often dismissed as insufficiently political.

“…Social media and online activism is often cited as the primary differential of the 'fourth wave' (Chamberlain, 2017) although there is contention over this, particularly in the UK context. In their work, Aune and Holyoak (2017) suggest that the third wave in the UK started much later than in the US, and the cultural and political particularities of the context within which feminist politics is being enacted need to be examined. They further suggest that the affordances new technologies offer (i.e.…”

“…A primeira onda feminista corresponde ao engajamento das mulheres desde o século XVIII em direção ao reconhecimento da mulher enquanto cidadão de direito. A segunda onda é caracterizada pelas expressões nas décadas de 60 e 70 em torno da desigualdade salarial, assédio sexual e negação do papel doméstico à mulher(AUNE;HOLYOAK, 2018). A terceira onda, visualizada atualmente nos estudos feministas, é reconhecida como uma negação das grandes narrativas construídas em torno da mulher na onda precedente de modo que reconhece as multiplicidades de experiências femininas(AUNE;HOLYOAK, 2018).…”
