The Impact of Feminism Movements on the Evolution of the Concept of the Family

The basis for the formation of feminism as a women's social movement was initially equality between men and women, but over time other currents emerged, some of which did not only fight for equal rights, but also held the view that women were superior to men. They were in all directions. Feminism entered the academy in the second half of the twentieth century and engaged in theorizing in many sciences. Among these, the family is one of the topics that has always been the focus of feminist theorists, and their different theories and orientations have changed the concept of the institution of the family in the last century. The present article first analyzes the two concepts of feminism and family, then examines the approach of feminism towards the family. Finally, the evolution of the concept of family as opposed to feminism will be explained. The method of this research is analytical-descriptive and the results obtained from it show that sometimes the concept of family, its structure and functions have been changed in many ways under the influence of feminism and today we see a variety of structures as family institution.
