Abstract
The US feminist movement to date has failed to maintain the energy of the Second Wave and the protections many of these feminists fought for, most notably being reproductive rights and economic equality. As feminists of the day continue to fight for these protections against an increasingly conservative government and a generally individualistic public society, we ask ourselves, why and how is “feminism” as an ideology and a movement, just not enough? This is the question that guides this thesis on the shortcomings of feminism and what underscores the Fifth Wave, the newest and perhaps the last wave of feminism.
