The three waves of feminism began with women fighting for access. They wanted all women to have the same rights as everyone else. Basically they wanted to stop being objectified and thought of as real humans. The first thing noticed when looking at the picture above is that it is in black and white; this shows, along with the older car, that it is in a relatively old setting. This is when women were first fighting for rights. They were able to leave the house and start living a normal life. The picture also shows the beginning of the second wave, which is roughly in the 60s and 70s. In the second wave women wanted more social acceptance and wanted to start constructing what it meant to be a woman (i.e., it is not ok to take part in pornography). The man is opening and holding the door open for the woman. Women were able to start living a normal life but they wanted recognition and quality of life. The action of opening the door for a woman shows that they are there and men care. Finally, the third wave of feminism is building off of the first two, and they are beginning to want acceptance within each other. For example, if a woman decides to be a porn star, women around her should not judge and accept what she is doing because it is her own choice. Women want the opportunity to do what they want.
