She started to make awareness in the society that exists and still takes places in the modern day society.

2) How does the Everyday Sexism project link to the concept of post-feminism? Is feminism still required in western societies?

This project links to post-feminism because this project allows women to tell the audience about their experience of being assaulted in the public.feminism is still required in the society because it still happens in the modern day society.

3) Why was new technology essential to the success of the Everyday Sexism project?

The new technology is very important for the success of the everyday sexism project because new technology like social media has allowed them to communicate and aware a larger audience.


4) Will there be a point in the future when the Everyday Sexism project is not required? What is YOUR view on the future of feminism?

Networked feminism is feminism which aims to tackle social equality issues in social media This is a problem because there are a lot of women who are struggling with feminism and are dealing with things with misconception and prejudice like the way that rape or sex happens  the way the women is dressed.


2) What are the four waves of feminism? Do you agree that we are in a fourth wave ‘networked feminism’? 

first wave-early 20th century,right to vote
second wave-1960's-1990s reproductive rights,equal pay
third wave-1990-present,empowerment,reclaiming of feminine,advertising
fourth wave-2010,use of new technology for activism

I agree with the fourth wave as internet is allowing them to advertise and show the world about feminism
