History is an ongoing process; it is not just the past, but how the past shapes the present and our hopes and fears about the future. History is, simply put, a word that describes the interplay between the past (the different interpretations of it), the present, and the future.

In this sense, feminism is not done. There isn't enough equality in the US. Lesser still in several SE Asian countries. So, feminism is all the more necessary today, and it is not, and in fact cannot, be done.
