Societal Framework- Equalized Gender Concern in the Selected Novels

Abstract

The history of gender concern in literature has come a long way to bring a change in the understanding of equality and the differentiation of sex and gender. Sex is the variation in the biological and gender which is important and associated with identities and socially constructed roles. Depending on time, women have developed their demands to attend equality and have developed many platforms that help women to attain their basic rights as human beings. Women have always been viewed as the weaker sex and inferior to that men. Any movements that help women to achieve their equal rights and helps them to understand their individuality, ambitions, and dream are important and their place in society matters as much as men, and these fall under Feminist movements. Throughout history, works in literature have paved the way to bring out how society has placed women and the different roles played by them and how it impacts society. The types of waves in the feminist movement have traced down the history of the growth of women in different stages. Gender concerns in literature have given different insights and knowledge about how women have lacked their basic rights, and have shown the different dimensions of living life on their terms just like men.
