This website is a collaborative project of students in the Term II 2014 Women and Society class at Elmira College. We have contributed research on women in America since the signing of the Declaration of Sentiments in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848 until the present, dividing feminist activism into three phases: First Wave, Second Wave, and Third Wave. We have debated these categories in class, concluding that some women may be riding on two waves, rather than representing only one.
