Third Wave Feminism
Empowered by the gains made by the First and Second Wave feminists, women began to actively subvert sexist culture by reclaiming previously offensive words such as "cunt," [heard in Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues] and "slut," as seen in the "Slut Walk" transnational protest marches against rape culture. Gender categories became more fluid as definitions of feminism seemed to be more ambiguous and ever changing. The debates about Miley Cyrus's twerking performance in the summer of 2013 illustrated this uncertainty. Feminists continued to battle for a woman's right to control her own body. Gains were made by women entering previously all male fields of work, however, feminists recognized that women still made less money than men for the same work. Third Wave feminists embraced their sexuality and willingly invested time and money to feel good about their body image. Students researched these Third Wave Feminists :
