Feminism has largely been successful in the developed world, enfranchising the female portion of the citizenry of such nations, opening up career opportunities, and instilling a greater degree of prominence and respect for women. That said, sexism is far from eliminated, especially in less-developed parts of the world, and there are movements that seek to reverse feminist progress.
