Abstract
The movements of women or feminisms raise lot of demands for women’s rights so that their status and role can be changed. Feminism explains the process of mail domination on women in reality and symbolically. It asserts that social and political structures of society symbolize power of men over women resulting in the latter’s oppression and subjugation. Even in the contemporary literature of feminist, women became a gender. “It (gender) is seen as the process by which individuals who are born into biological categories of male or female become the social categories of men and women through the acquisition of locally defined attributes of masculinity and femininity.” It provides deeper analysis of present inequalities. Caroline Moser has traced the evolution of practice in the field of development for women. She emphasized on five approaches from traditional to what can be called feminist.
