My paper analysis the negative stigma around feminism and the impact that it has on the feminist movement. I look into historical, cultural, media-driven, and art and how it has all impacted the stigma around feminism and also how it has helped the movement to step away from that stigma. I looked into the different waves of feminism to show what progress was made in each and then how the negative connotations hindered the progress made. I wanted to look into different countries and explore how the feminist movement is affected in different parts of the world and what is being done to progress the movement and what is it that is hindering the movement.

My paper focuses on the term feminism and the stigma attached to it. I wanted to show all of the misconceptions and how they came about through social media. I wanted to provide my paper with a full knowledge of the feminism movement and how it is affected by these negative stigmas that society creates.
