Women’s right and activism has been a prevalent issue of discussion in not just the contemporary times, but has prevailed in the society since the birth of humankind. Man naturally being imbibed with masculine traits, forced the women to submit themselves under the patriarchal forces, a practice which has not ended yet. Women have struggled not just by restricting them to the role of caretakers of the family, but to place themselves in the society equivalently with men and others. The lack of equal representation and the struggle that the feminine gender has imbibed upon itself caught my area of interest in this field. Ranging from Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Right of Women to our contemporary writers like Simon De Beauvoir and Gayatri Spivak, all have contributed to this struggle for a basic representation in the society. Their desire to promote femininity beyond the highly nurtured concept of motherhood under patriarchy has forced humanity to reconsider it’s laws governing women, as not just mere caregivers, mother and a site of exploitation, but as people, as human beings equally capable as any other sex or gender in the society.
