Abstract

Feminist movements are one of the most prominent topics that have emerged in recent times. Women have suffered for centuries from exclusion and deliberate marginalization in all aspects of social life. Some women began to appear who refused to live in such a reality imposed on them and began to move by organizing movements and organizations. It calls for women's rights and equality with men. The years after the World War were not what women expected after the sacrifices they made and the situations in which they proved themselves that they could work like men. Women were forced to leave their jobs at the end of the war and the practiced policy of marginalization was reinstated. With women before the war, women suffered during the fifth decade from marginalization and exclusion, as newspapers and magazines began writing articles explaining to women their role as wives and mothers. Educational opportunities also decreased, and women began to leave university to get married after they had been struggling to obtain an opportunity in higher education. The fifties were extremely frustrating for women, especially with government and societal pressure to end their role in work and education.
