    DOMINANT APPROACHES AND IDEAS OF SOCIAL SCIENCES: FEMINIST THEORY

    What is Feminist Theory?

    Feminism or feminist theory is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a
    common goal which is to define and advance political, economic, personal, and social rights for women
    (Berroya 2017).

    This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment.

    Movements of Feminism Description


    st
    1 Wave Feminism refers to an extended period of feminist activity during the
    nineteenth century and early twentieth century in the United Kingdom and
    the United States
    2nd Wave Feminism refers to the period of activity in the early 1960s and lasting
    through the late 1990s.
    3rd Wave Feminism began in the early 1990s, arising as a response to perceived
    failures of the second wave and also as a response to the backlash against
    initiatives and movements created by the second wave.
    Mohammad Salik, 2017

    Principles Description
    Working to increase equality Feminist thought links ideas to action, insisting we should push for change
    toward gender equality and not just talk out it.
    Expanding human choice Feminists believe that both men and women should have the freedom to
    develop their human interests and talents, even if those interests and
    talents conflict with the status quo

    Example: For example, if a woman wants to be a mechanic, she should have


    the right and opportunity to do so.
    Eliminating gender stratification Feminists oppose laws and cultural norms that limit income, educational
    and job opportunities for women.
    Ending sexual violence and Feminists feel that women should have control over their sexuality and
    promoting sexual freedom reproduction.

    Types of Feminism

    Liberal Feminism-is an individualistic form of feminist theory, which focuses on women’s ability to
    maintain their equality through their own actions and choices.
    Liberal feminists argue that society holds the false belief that women are, by nature, less intellectually
    and physically capable than men

    Socialist Feminism-is a branch of feminism that focuses upon both the public and private spheres of a
    woman's life and argues that liberation can only be achieved by working to end both the economic and
    cultural sources of women's oppression.
    Socialist feminism is a two-pronged theory that broadens Marxist feminism's argument for the role of
    capitalism in the oppression of women and radical feminism's theory of the role of gender and the
    patriarchy

    Radical Feminism- is a perspective within feminism that calls for a radical reordering of society in
    which male supremacy is eliminated in all social and economic contexts
