Removed a confusing passage of little importance

I removed the following passage (which I have, evenso, considerably cleaned up) from the terminology paragraph under the "Post-war and second wave" heading:

(This terminology is not completely uniform among all authors. T.Z. Lavine maintains that the "First wave" in the United States was the Women's Rights Movement from the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention to the onset of the American Civil War in 1861; the "Second wave," or Woman Suffrage Movement, from the founding of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1890 to 1924 after the amendment to grant the vote was ratified; the "Third wave," the "Women's Movement," from 1964.)

I removed it because it only confuses an already very garbled article, and because the source seems obscure, and because the info, if it belongs in Wikipedia at all, belongs in a section or article that focuses on the U.S. All in all, I personally think Wikipedia can probably live without it.

References

Rosie the Riveter

I noticed there was a citation needed for the influence of Rosie the Riveter on women in the 1940s. I happened to visit the Rosie the riveter museum in Richmond recently, which has lots of info about the Kaiser Permanente shipyards there and the Rosie the Riveter icon/ ad campaign that was run to recruit more women to build ships in said shipyards. I'm not sure exactly how to connect this source with the item that needs citation, but I figured posting the link to the museum's web page here: https://www.nps.gov/rori/index.htm.

Placement of "global feminism" subsection

(in reference to its current location at 4.9.2 in the TOC) This jumped out at me, as the article has been progressing steadily forward in time then suddenly reverts to the early 19th century. Because this section covers a broad range of years, I think it might make more sense at the beginning or the end. Regardless, it does not seem to fit in as a subcategory of third wave feminism, as it references dates well outside the established range of years that third wave feminism is stated to encompass.

Early Feminism

I added a section to Early Feminism about Andal, as I believe she is an important part of the History of Feminism.Cpetryshyn (talk) 04:37, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Latin America

Hello, the article barely mentions feminism in Latin America, please expend it. --179.26.209.125 (talk) 00:40, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
