Women in the United States are a very important aspect to globalization.
There are qualities that define a women's movement. “This movement does not
conform to conventional definitions of a “movement”, lacking as it does common
objectives, continuity, and coordination" (Antrobus 609). The article
mentions that it is difficult to identify clear objects. This is said because
some groups seem to contradict other groups. There can be a wide variety in
defining these objectives. The larger social project comes into play being a
concern with the women's movement. I think that the women's movement
is defined by diversity. This is because there are a lot of varied
options and perspectives on the subject of women's movement. Even women's
thoughts vs. men’s thoughts vary on the definition of women's movement.
"Diversity is now recognized as perhaps the most important characteristic
of women's movement" (Antrobus 611). I agree with the author on this one
because it states what diversity means and how it
is defined regarding women's movement. Without women's
participation in the women's movement, it wouldn't be a women
movement. They are such a key factor in expressing the movement and
getting points across. The definition of a women’s movement defines
as such: "a broad movement campaigning for women's liberation and
rights" (oxforddictionaries). I think that a global women’s
movement is important to know about because women should strive to have their
own definitions of what they believe and value. A global women's movement is
more unique from other movements. This is because it gains women's values and
understands so that we can become more knowledgeable on the subject and realize
that it is an important factor that is still being defined by many today.
