Analysis Of Do Women Have A Distinct Nature By Nancy Holmstrom

In “Do Women Have a Distinct Nature?” Nancy Holmstrom explores women’s nature. She states that women have the right to be suspicious of attempts made to define the nature of women, even if it is biological in nature. This also stems from the belief that all things viewed as the norm is usually masculine. Not all women have to act like the feminine type and using the cluster concept, the nature of man and women are understood. Holmstrom believes that essences exist as structures with an explanatory function. She understands that there are differences between men and women, but states that these differences are in fact determined by social forces. Upon stating some conceptual limitations of many studies of this issue, she concludes that there
are many differences in the personality of both genders. Ultimately, you can suggest that these are a result of social factors rather than genetics.
