Liberation of Feminism

Liberation is a key aspect of existence. It is defined by people’s rights and how they are exercised. The concept of liberal feminism seems new and undiscovered territory that requires more exploration in order to understand it better and its extent in the global scale. This paper seeks to analyze the possibility and extent of feminist liberalism, the different types of feminism and the impact of liberation of feminism from the global conformity.

The dissertation focuses on the basic elements of feminism and the extent of liberation within these boundaries. It will assess the rights of feminists from three different approaches, and the most effective approach for feminist liberalism. The analysis of rights will help to understand different political problems faced by women globally, and how a clear comprehension of women’s rights would influence change in the perception of feminism. In addition to that, it will emphasize on how women’s choices affect their position in relation to feminism and how they tend to influence their own oppression (Brennan, 87). Cudd explains that liberalism and feminism are in contrast as a result of the oppression women bring to themselves (p.39). She emphasizes on the need to have the rights clearly outlined and explained from a political perspective.

Further, an understanding of governmentalism will help to assess the relationship between feminism and politics. Government policies focusing on gender equality and women empowerment will be assessed, as well as their effectiveness. Tomasi highlights the uniformity of feminist scholars in relation to the public policy orientation and how this influences the general outlook of feminism. According to these three scholars, feminist liberalism is a paradox that requires practical application using different approaches; the direct government and the indirect government approaches.
