The African Feminism Evolution And Its Impact on the World

Abstract

The present dissertation seeks to describe the status of women throughout history, and particularly in Africa. It will also highlight the process of overcoming the hardships that restricted women’s lives as well as their position within society, Algeria being an example. This research aims at displaying the critical intellectual contributions of women to their respective societies. The research at disposal is the result of abundant statistical and theoretical data collections. The focus of this work was on defining the most important factors that led to the rise of women in society, providing them with their due rights, and most importantly, breaking with the traditional negative stereotypes. Another main point in this work is that modern feminism moved from defending women’s idea on equality to changing fundamental social identity that would, in return, be considered a threat.
