Liberal feminism is a feminist theory, that regards on women’s ability to preserve their equality in their actions and choices. In this theory, feminists complain that society judges agree with the "fact" that women being less capable of doing things then man, both intellectually and physically when liberal feminists think that it all depends on the situation. Thus society also discriminates women in the academic and market. Basically, Liberal Feminists search for sexual equality, politically, legally, and socially.

Radical feminism is a thinking where they agree to eliminate male supremacy on society and economy. This type of feminists search the end of patriarchy by challenging norms and institutions, it includes the recognition of traditional gender roles, opposing the use of using women as a sexual object, and raising public alertness about rape and violence against them.



Marxist feminism is focused on explaining and searching the ways women are oppressed over systems of capitalism and private property. According to the marxist, women's labor is uncompensated, and women's liberation can only be achieved through a tough restructuring of the current capitalist economy.

Ecofeminism connect feminism with ecology using movements and philosophies, interpreting their oppression and exploration according to it. They also believe that these connections are represented through the "feminine" values: nurturing, reciprocity, and cooperation, all presented in nature and women.
