Struggling to Find Unique Feminist Research Ideas for Your Dissertation

I have been exploring different feminist thesis topics lately, and it feels challenging to find a subject that is both unique and research-worthy. Many students spend weeks searching for the right direction before starting their dissertation. Some focus on gender equality in workplaces, while others explore media representation, education, or social justice themes. I am curious about how students usually choose their dissertation topics and what makes a research idea stand out academically. Do you think selecting a modern issue is better than working on a traditional feminist theory topic. What type of dissertation support do students find most helpful during research and writing stages. I would love to hear different experiences and suggestions from people who have already worked on feminist research projects.
