Description:

The personal is political. Gender politics are about the structure of sex roles. It is also about the struggle between the sexes in which the central issues are freedom and domination.

Then, the movement will be highlighted in terms of its unity of thought and action. To understand the thought that continues to shape this movement, students will analyze and evaluate the arguments of the major thinkers, such as Mary Wollstonecraft and Simone de Beauvoir.
