EFFECT OF FEMINISM ON WOMEN” (HAS FEMINISM HELPED OR HARMED WOMEN)

To become an important member of society, women had to overcome numerous challenges, difficulties, and impediments. In the past, women lacked all kinds of status and privileges and were mistreated by society and men alike. This dissertation explores a woman’s hopes, aspirations and capacity to alter her role in society from that of a daughter, wife, or mother to that of an ordinary citizen’s typical rights and responsibilities. This research produces several key findings: recent research and statistics that confirm a significant development of women’s participation in different fields such as economic growth, and cultural upheavals together with social and political frameworks. The main conclusion drawn from this research is that the Feminist efforts were efficient in many ways in which they brought a huge change in the position and the role of women. By establishing women’s political, economic and social rights, they were able to eliminate most, if not all, of the conventional images and increase her status in society.
