Hello readers!

The term ‘feminism’ was derived from the Latin word ‘Femina’ meaning‘woman’ and was first used with regard to the issues of equality andWomen’s Rights Movement. Ever since antiquity, there have been womenfighting to free their half of the total population of the world from maleoppression. Feminism is neither afad nor a logical extension of the civil rightsmovement, but the protest against the legal,economic and social restrictions onthe basic rights of women which have existed throughout history and in all civilizations. Naturally, the principles of feminism have been articulated long ago.
The definition of the term ‘feminism’ differs from person to person.
Chaman Nahal in his article, “Feminism in English Fiction”, defines feminismas “a
mode of existence in which the woman is free of the dependencesyndrome. There is
a dependence syndrome: whether it is the husband or the father or the community
or whether it is a religious group, ethnic group. When women free
themselves of the dependence syndrome and lead a normal life, my idea of
feminism materialises.”
