While feminist theories have surfaced from time to time in history, the modern feminist movement's roots are in the Age of Enlightenment with its principles of individual justice. In the United States, these ideas were put into action by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others who issued a Declaration for Women's Independence in 1848. A central demand of their nascent feminist movement, women's right to vote, was achieved in 1920 after a 72-year battle.

随着历史的变迁，女权的理论也随 之变化，而现代女权运动则是产生于注重个人公正的启蒙时代。在美国，这些理念是由伊丽莎白·卡迪·斯坦顿等人付诸实施的，他们于1848年发表女性《独立宣言》。在争取女权运动发展的初期，其核心要求是争取女性投票权，经过72年的奋战，终于在1920年得到了这一权利。
