There have been powerful women throughout the ages and there are now even within authoritarian states that likely yield significant power. 

For example, Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader, is on the nation’s top ruling body.

For the West and in recent times, it was about universal suffrage and the idea that everyone should have a say.

The fact feminism is still around today does raise questions. Equal opportunity already has been obtained so what is the fuss about now unless it is for equal outcomes, which is in effect communism.
