The movement of liberal feminism still exists all over the world bringing some characteristics of liberal values.

Meanwhile the secondary data were cited from articles, books, and other online-sources. Some steps in this research were started by compiling the data, identifying, classifying, reducing and analyzing the data supported by the theory of liberal feminism.
