If Women Are Unable in a Given Society to Hold

question 42

Essay

If women are unable in a given society to hold important positions in what may be characterized as the "public" sphere of life, does that indicate male dominance? In other words, in what ways might the prohibition of women from the economic activities of men-as has historically been the case even within the United States-indicate differences in power? What do you think is necessary for there to be equality between women and men?
