What primarily distinguished second-wave feminism from first-wave feminism?
First-wave feminists fought against domestic violence while second-wave feminists ignored this issue.
The concern about body image issues only existed in first wave feminism but got sidelined during second wave feminist movements globally.
Second-wave feminism had a broader agenda including issues like sexuality, family, workplace, and reproductive rights; whereas first-wave primarily focused on legal inequalities mostly around vote-right issue.
Second-wave feminists exclusively campaigned for environmental conservation unlike first wave ones who didn't consider it necessary within their ambit of feminist struggle.
