It takes in various forms of protests and activities, all of which are geared towards the attainment of equal rights for women from diametrical classes. This movement has gone across different borders including their struggle in the areas of politics, economics, well-disposed status, and in the religious aspect.Over the history, the disparity of rights between males and females is noniceable.

In the area of religion, feminism has become a distinct philosophy and it has gained see and respect from different groups. In certain religious groups, women are without delay allowed to hold certain positions of power.Women are now ordained as clergy, thusly granting them rights that were in the past held solely by men (Feminism and Religion). womens rightist philosophers of religion also became widely influential in the study of religion, and as such they were able to provide remarkable standpoints on how religion is to be viewed in a perspective that is beneficial to women. Thus, this has served as a serviceable tool for women in expressing their own beliefs, ideas and relate their experiences to other people in a way that they are properly heard without being negatively criticized (Frankenberry 2005).This development in the feminist movement was able to seek transmutation in the society by challenging mixer insitutions and attempting to change social norms and standards. The emergence of female heroic figures and saints is an example of how feminist movements have develop over time (Hunt 2004). The challenges posted by feminism be came strong that feminists or so the world were able to gather support and hasten changes in the society, not only in political and economic aspects, but also in the field of religion which was for long been dominated by men.
