Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the idea of liberal feminism from the perspective of several great thinkers, such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Jojo Moyes, and others. Liberal feminism is one of the main schools of feminist thought, focusing on gender equality through individual freedom, civil rights, and legal reform. It is based on liberal principles such as freedom, justice, and equal rights. Liberal feminism aims to integrate women into society through social, political, and legal change. The results of the study show that liberal feminism made a substantial contribution to increasing women's access to various aspects of social and economic life. However, this approach has been criticized for failing to account for structural issues such as race, social class, and economy, all of which contribute to gender disparity. In conclusion, while liberal feminism has laid a solid foundation for the fight for equality, a more intersectional approach is required to be more inclusive of women's experiences. In broader perspectives, liberal can be more effective in responding to modern societal concerns such as global economic disparity and dynamic social change.
