Feminism can be described as the advocacy for equal treatment towards women’s rights. Different aspects including ideologies and political movements create a range for the goal of feminism‚ to launch an era of political‚ social‚ and economic equality of sexes.

ESSAY I : SHAKESPEARE AND GENDER-BASED STEREOTYPES. "I could find in my heart to disgrace my man ’s apparel and cry like a woman" (II.
