Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at seeking, creating, and defending rights for women (Madsen, 2000). Mainly, feminism movements campaigns for equality. Because of the many issues that women face, feminism movements’ seeks equality between men and women in the society (Allen, 2009). Over the years, women have been oppressed while men have been favored. Feminist movements have always advocated for women’s rights (Madsen, 2000). These movements have opposed domestic violence, cases of sexual harassment, and sexual molestation against women (Kenneth, 2010). This research paper will focus on the work of Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Throughout, the paper will discuss Gilman’s feminism theory and relate it to the issues of women in the contemporary society. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was one of the well-known American sociologists in the 18 th century (Kenneth, 2010). During this period, Gilman was very sensitive and she became concerned about what was happening in her surroundings. She was an exception feminist who represented the women through her creative work of literature, especially poetry (Madsen, 2000). Gilman did a lot of work both fiction and non-fiction (Kenneth, 2010). Her fiction work was dedicated to improving the living standards for women. Generally, Gilman’s work was aimed at forming a big revolution that would put women’s need at the center of focus (Allen, 2009). During her time, Gilman recognized that there existed a lot of inequalities in the society and more particular at the workplace (Allen, 2009). She also noticed that women were not allowed to work in some places. Notably, women would access certain jobs and they were only given duties to work as home markers. For this reason, women had no income; they did not control any sector. Because of this inequality, Gilman focused on restructuring the relation between men and women. She dedicated her work in campaigning for women’s rights and improving social relationships (Madsen, 2000). Gilman’s evolutionary theory and the sexuo-economic relation theory Charlotte Gilman looked at the society in terms of relationships that existed between men and women (Kenneth, 2010). She explored the theory of social evolution in a wider perspective. In this theory, Gilman observed that the society gave men an upper hand in the selection process. Gilman also argued that, social evolution theory had put men at the centre of the society (Kenneth, 2010). Because of this, the male gender takes the responsibility of determining the type of relationship between men and women. Since men are “superior,” women have to be submissive towards men in all ways. According to theory of social evolution, it is a requirement for women to have sexual contact with men (Kenneth, 2010). In responding to this issue, Gilman observed that sexual contact was not always out of free will (Kenneth, 2010). Because of such principles argued by social evolution, women have always been oppressed; they are forced to have sexual contact with men. This forms the basis of gender-based violence. Notably, women are perceived as homemakers. Gilman observes that women are left at home and they are expected to support men in their work (Allen, 2009). The society expects them to give up their dreams to support the family. On the other hand, men occupy the pu
