Feminist movements are one of the most controversial movements, and these movements would not have been around had it not been for philosophical support. In general, their philosophy is based on postmodern philosophies, which are considered general knowledge of the overall pan of what is raised in feminist criticism. The importance of knowing these Western philosophical foundations of feminism comes to light when unveiling them from the joints of Arab feminist thought where it becomes clear to the critic that Arab feminist thought is only an echo of Western feminist thought.
