A very good site on Feminism, where you might be especially interested in the division between the 3 waves of feminism: http://www.gender.cawater-info.net/knowledge_base/rubricator/feminism_e.htm
1st Wave
1848: Lucretia Mott e Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the Seneca Falls Convention

------
1953: Publication of the English translation of Simone Beauvoir's The Second Sex (1949) - "one is not born a woman, one becomes a woman"
2nd Wave
1963: Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique
1966: Twenty-eight women founded the National Organization for Women (NOW) to function as a civil rights organization for women.
1968: Robin Morgan led members of New York Radical Women to protest the Miss America Pageant of 1968, which they decried as sexist and racist

3rd Wave
The third wave has its origins in the mid-1980s. Feminist leaders rooted
in the second wave like Gloria Anzaldua, bell hooks, Chela Sandoval,
Cherrie Moraga, Audre Lorde, Maxine Hong Kingston, and many other black
feminists, sought to negotiate a space within feminist thought for
consideration of race-related subjectivities.
