Feminism — liberal
Liberal feminism seeks equality within existing systems through legal and political reform, equal opportunities, and dismantling formal barriers to women's participation.
Real World
The UK Equality Act 2010, championed by liberal feminist campaigners, made it illegal to pay women less than men for equivalent work — a classic liberal feminist victory through legal reform rather than systemic change.
Exam Focus
Contrast liberal feminism with radical feminism to show awareness of internal feminist debates; this secures evaluation marks.
