Fourth Wave Feminism
This wave is harder to define than the others, as the lines between the end of 3rd wave and the start of the 4th wave become increasingly blurred. However in general, the 4th wave is seen to be concerned with the empowerment of women. This wave utilises social media to allow women to share their stories of sexual abuse and to openly speak about sensitive issues. Representation is a key focus of 4th wave feminism.

The Hysteria Collective
The Hysteria Collective is a collective of creative women, trans and non-binary people who are creating content for likeminded people, independently. It is a platform for sharing the work of creatives, helping them to create a network of other creative people, building intricate projects promoting social issues and encouraging them to venture into the creative arts, unapologetically.
It is also an excellent place to share work that can ultimately make up part of a portfolio, be that writing, art or photography. Check out their website: thehysteriacollective.com
