20th-Century Feminism Practice Test

A historian argues that late-20th-century feminism in Europe included a “third-wave” turn that emphasized intersectionality, identity, and critique of universal categories, while still engaging institutions and popular culture. The historian contrasts this with earlier waves that often prioritized formal legal rights or broad claims about a shared womanhood. Which description best fits the historian’s characterization of late-20th-century feminist trends?

A scholarly overview of 20th-century feminism argues that women’s wartime mobilization in both World Wars expanded expectations of female competence in industry and public service, yet postwar demobilization often pressured women back into domestic roles. The author concludes that this “mobilization–retrenchment cycle” shaped later feminist critiques of citizenship and labor. Which evidence best supports the author’s claim about postwar retrenchment?
