In doing this, the waves of Feminism would be discussed i.e. the three waves of the history of feminism as espoused by feminist scholars. These waves are classified based on the theme of the campaigns and the period in which they reigned. The different sub movements of feminism will also be examined. Thus Radical feminism, Liberal Feminism, Marxist Feminism and Womanism would be extensively discussed. . This work would look emphatically at Feminism in Nigeria. Its history, how far women have come so far in the fight for equality and the challenges faced by Nigerian women in asserting their rights in the society, family and workplace would be analyzed. Notable feminists in Nigerian history, their activism and its impact on women right development and present day women and feminist organisations would be appraised. This work would critically examine the state of the Nigerian woman today and make recommendations for the advancement of women rights and Feminism in Nigeria.
