	The name "women's movement" can refer to the specific feminist movement in the US in the 1960s and 1970s (sometimes called [[Second Wave]]); to the broader modern women's movement internationally, counting from the mid-1960s onward; to the "modern" women's movement beginning in the 19th century (often described as [[First Wave]]); or to anti-sexism activism at any time or place. However, to the extent that a "movement" is a discrete, time- and place-limited thing (albeit with fuzzy historical edges), the latter definition is probably better described as simply "feminist" or "women's rights activism" than a specific movement.
