ABSTRACT: The Western Feminist Movement, a social campaign driven by bourgeois women advocating for gender equality and the attainment of social status and rights, attracted widespread participation from women across various backgrounds. As the movement evolved, women’s higher education in the United States developed through three distinct stages, each reflecting the broader socio-political dynamics of its time. This article examines the interplay between the feminist movement and the progression of women’s higher education in the United States, tracing its developmental trajectory and highlighting the transformative impact of feminist thought on educational practices and policies.
