About the Issue:
The relationship between gender and feminism is fundamental as
feminism as a movement is rooted in the belief that individuals should be free
from gender stereotypes, after the end of all discrimination that are outcomes
of gender. As far as the gender role is concerned, it is consciously or
unconsciously an acquired role. “Gradually we acquire the traits, behaviours,
and attitudes that our culture defines as “masculine” and “feminine. We are not
necessarily born different; we become different through this process of
socialization” (Kimmel). Women are differentiated from men through ‘this
process of socialization’. And that is why Juliet Mitchell in Woman’s
Estate rightly defines gender as a “socially conditioned fantasy”.
While defining gender, Butler says, it is ‘performative’. By ‘performativity’,
Butler means that there can be no gender identity prior to gendered acts. Gender dictates our roles
and creates man-woman divide and in most cases, relegates women to a secondary
position. The aim of this present issue is to study the adverse results that
arise out of gender in relation to female role and identity like gender
inequality, gender discrimination, gender violence, gender binarism and many
other such issues that can be brought under feminist discourses.
