- Liberal Feminism
- Say that women's inequality arises from factors like sexist stereotyping, gender role socialisation and sex discrimination
- These factors generate a lack of opportunities for women which keeps them in lower pain and lower status occupations
- Liberal feminists say that gender equality can be achieved through legal, economic and social reform that would enable women to take full part in existing society
- Evaluation

- Weaknesses
- Other feminists, such as radical feminists, would argue that these movements are not effective enough or are too optimistic
- Strengths
- Say that women's inequality arises from factors like sexist stereotyping, gender role socialisation and sex discrimination
