Abstract

For every nation, developed, or developing, feminism plays an important role in the emancipation and empowerment of women. Women rights, women empowerment, and women liberation constitute the circle of feminism. At any stage of the circle of feminism, something could go wrong leading to the failure of the feminist struggle. Contemporary feminist struggles have proven to be very complex and competitive, hence the need for a pragmatic approach to feminism. An analysis of feminism as theory of sexual stratification and gender difference is the focus of this paper. In other words, the paper reviews theoretically the view that feminism is a theory of sexual stratification and gender difference. The paper contends that variations of feminism are multi-dimension, transnational and multifaceted; hence gender difference and sexual stratification are only variants of a multi-dimensional whole.

Keywords: theory,feminism, gender difference, social stratification
