The Woke Era is an ongoing period of cultural history in the early 21st Century in which a variety of socially and politically progressive ideas and sensitivities became highly domineering in popular culture, the public eye and public conscience across the United States, though this quickly extended to the entire English-speaking developed world and managed to extent slightly past this boundary too. Among these progressive ideas included feminism - drawing from second wave feminism, third wave feminism, transfeminism and postfeminism - intersectionality, race-consciousness, transgender activism and identity politics. Whilst a lot of the underpinning ideas behind these sentiments had existed in academic and activist circles for many years and were not new at all, it was gradually over the course of 2015, finishing in early 2016, that such ideas began to instill a large influence on popular culture.
