First Wave Feminism
This wave runs from the late 19th century into the early 20th century with its principal aim being to gain women more political and legal equality, mainly through the securing of the right to vote. This wave slowly trailed off owing to classism of many middle and upper class women fearing the consequences of all women obtaining more rights.

The Hysteria Collective
The Hysteria Collective is a collective of creative women, trans and non-binary people who are creating content for likeminded people, independently. It is a platform for sharing the work of creatives, helping them to create a network of other creative people, building intricate projects promoting social issues and encouraging them to venture into the creative arts, unapologetically.
It is also an excellent place to share work that can ultimately make up part of a portfolio, be that writing, art or photography. Check out their website: thehysteriacollective.com
