Define the concept of Feminist theory.

1.	Define the concept of Feminist theory.
Answer» Feminist theory holds that the basis of division of power in the society is genderistic. All the strength of the society is with the men and they use their power over women. Therefore, on this basis, women started movements in Europe who wanted to end male domination. But Indian tradition against women is different from the west. There was a long struggle to get the status of franchise and equal status for women while in Indian philosophy and ideal society women were getting proper positions. It is said there where women are worshipped, there is a house of God. In fact with its independence, in India, women are given right to vote and contest. So the Indian concept does not demand women’s freedom but support their independence.
