Feminist Theory
·
Woman-centered inter-discipline
that actively promotes ways to achieve social justice.
·
Its aim is to understand gender
inequality and promoting women’s rights. Three core questions that the feminist
theory addresses:
(1) "What about the women?"
(2) "Why is the social world as it
is?"
(3) "How can we change and improve the
social world so as to make it a more just place for women and for all
people?"
·
Feminist theorists have also started to
question the differences between women, including how race, class, ethnicity,
and age intersect with gender.
·
In sum, feminist theory is most
concerned with giving a voice to women and highlighting the various ways women
have contributed to society.
