Comparing Gilman, Cooper And Collins Notions Of Feminism

Compare and contrast on Gilman, Cooper and Collins’ notions of Feminism In this paper I will talk about how Gilman, Cooper and Collins think about progress for women. Analyzing their writings, I will compare and contrast their initial concerns and focuses on progress for women, explanations of the causes of gender inequalities, and ideas of future activism. I will discuss what they assumptions they shared in common and how they differentiated with each other specifically. Principal Concerns and focuses on progress for women I will start with the compare and contrast of what three theorists were concerned with when forming their theories of feminism. As all three theorists claimed that the problem of women’s rights was not the simple one of the democratic demand of women for equal prerogatives with men, their initial concerns were all essentially twofold: to show how women and society were disastrously affected due to the continued suppression of female; and to demonstrate, both in theories and practice means whereby women could fight for their rights and equalities in society. However, since they three had different focuses on progress for women, Gilman, Cooper and Collins’ principal concerns when forming their theories were also different, and I will explain the differences in the following paragraphs. As Gilman noted in her writings, she was concerned with the causes of the subjection of women and refutation of how dominant world justi fied their suppression on women.
