Gender and Power

The interplay between gender and power profoundly influences social structures, cultural norms, and political systems. Understanding this relationship helps uncover the inequalities embedded in everyday life and institutional frameworks. Gender and Power explores how gender identities intersect with authority, representation, and access to resources. The book discusses feminist theories, patriarchy, and the social construction of gender roles. It also examines global movements advocating for gender equality and empowerment. Drawing on historical and contemporary perspectives, it provides readers with a critical understanding of how power operates through gender relations in both public and private spheres.
