The Third Wave: What would gender equity look like in the 21st century?

Having learned about the suffrage movement, women's liberation and some aspects of the condition of women today - Lily Ledbetter, advertising - you are charged with determining what the next feminist movement should look like. Consider advancements, and the lack thereof, in economics, social factors, politics, religion, education, behavioral norms and expectations and determine who should lead this new movement, how and to what end? Should it be like the NWP - single platform, NAWSA, N.O.W., Ms., Paul, Sanger, Friedan, Steinem?

You are charged with looking further into these women, movements and eras, looking into the conditions of in/equality today and determine who and what should lead the new charge, and HOW!?!?
