GENDER EVOLUTION: A STUDY OF STATUS OF WOMEN THROUGHOUT THE AGES OF FEMINISM
Dr. Rajvir Kaur
Pages: 9071-9073
Abstract
‘Gender’ is one of the busiest, most restless terms in English language. Gender must not discriminate with how females and males really, they are, but with the way that a given culture or subculture sees them and therefore the primary issue is to examine how they are ‘culturally constructed’. Gender is not a natural process that emanates from the body; it is a socially structuring activity. Social division is based on gender. Gender refers to the cultural categories of femininity/masculinity based upon the biological division. We can also identify a person's gender by his identity and gender role. Gender identity refers to a person's self-concept: that is, one's own sense of whether one is female or male. By contrast, gender-role refers to a role that society expects according to one's gender; it thus involves the acceptance that kinds of behavior (feminine versus masculine) are appropriate for each gender.
