Is Womanhood a Social Construct?

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


The writer of this in-depth paper explores how from the beginning of time male-oriented philosophy and theology proved women
to be in the wrong. This paper ponders author Simone de Beauvior's view of women in the book "The Second Sex." This paper also focuses on the African-American woman whose role has been made twice as difficult because of her racial identity as well as other female ethnic groups. This paper delves into Carl Jung's theories of women as well as Aristotle who subjugated women philosophically, politically, economically and as a gender.
