The US feminism movement is facing the same problems as a lot of the other feminism movements around the world. These issues can be related to relationship issues, work harassment, rape, abortion, and that is just to name a few of them. However, these are problems that a lot of other feminism movements are fighting, not just the US feminism movement.

Where did it all begin? Rosa Parks? Virginia Slims advertisements? Maybe it began with the "equal work/equal pay movement.
