Over the 20th and 21st centuries feminism has been represented in multiple ways in popular culture. Somewhat surprisingly, the movements around feminism have been at times celebrated in film, television, and music. However, a very specific version of the movements prevail; ones that focus on white, middle-class, neo-liberal narratives, ultimately denying the role of many people who did not fit this narrative.
