Natasha is a highly academic feminist; she gained a First from St John's College, Cambridge and went on to study and teach at Harvard in America.

In 2015, she became a Visiting Professor of Women's Rights at Cambridge University, so still holds onto her Cambridge roots.

Walter was the Deputy Literary Editor of The Independent, and later a Columnist for the Guardian.

However what brought her most significantly into the spotlight of the third wave was her book: 'The New Feminism' (1998).

Walter's work celebrated women's growing political power and economic equality. She also tries to make clear that we have to keep fighting for equality and that the first 2 waves have not achieved everything women need to progress.

Walter is still a very influential figure in feminism now, and went on to write 3 more books, including both fictional spy genres about feminism, and more of her own views surrounding 'The Return of Sexism'.

She founded the Women for Refugee Women (2006). It is a charity that is 'challenging the injustices (unfairness) experienced by women who seek asylum (shelter) in the United Kingdom'.

She has also gone on to become an activist in Extinction Rebellion.

Haleh got a PhD at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, after already having done her undergraduate degree at the University of York.

She is a Muslim feminist and writes on Iranian politics and women. She has written 6 books on these subjects.

However, the book that most encapsulated the third wave was 'Islam and Feminisms' (1998). This played into the key themes of the third wave as it explored the recognition of women having very similar experiences, goals and problems despite having different cultures.

She wanted Western society to understand that Islamic women can and do have a feminist position which must be included in the third wave.

In 2003, Afshar became a founding member of the Muslim Women's Network.

In 2007 she became a Baroness and in 2009, she was named as one of the 20 most successful Muslim women in the UK, on the Muslim Women Power List.

Sandi studied at Girton College, Cambridge.

You might be familiar with her as the co-presenter of the Great British Bake Off; however, it is also important to learn about her Herstory and previous achievements.

One of which was the University of Cambridge's Footlights show. This is an amateur theatrical group which has helped to bring recognition to many comedians and actors that you have probably heard of: Stephen Fry,  John Cleese, Germaine Greer (among the first women to be allowed back on the stage in 1964), Hugh Laurie, John Oliver, Sue Perkins and Emma Thompson to name a few. However what Sandi did, along with Emma Thompson, was to create the first all female Footlights show: Woman's Hour (1980!). They staged it because they were 'sick of getting cast as receptionists in sketches'. Their show was a success and allowed a new pathway for other aspiring female comedians and actors to follow them.

Toksvig has written over 20 fiction and non-fiction books for adults and children. One of her most notable being her 2008: Girls are Best, which was a Herstory book intended to be read by young girls, to gain different perspectives of history.

Sandi came out as a lesbian in 1994, which was more 'accepted' during the third wave. However as a result of this choice, Toksvig was dropped by the 'Save the Children' charity. Can you remember who set this charity up?  This led Sandi to become an even stronger activist...

In 2015, she co-founded the Women's Equality Party. It is a political party that 'campaigns for gender equality to the benefit of all'. 

They fight for equality in: Health, representation, pay and opportunities, parenting and care-giving, education, media treatment and an end to violence against women.
