Being Woman: Feminist Perspectives

Philosophical Society Post-Graduate Government College for girls sector 11 Chandigarh organized its 3rd student seminar on the topic “Being women: Feminist Perspective“ in which students exchanged their idea on what is to be a feminist. Various students participated in the discussion. Nandini and Anandita from BA I year pointed out the issues of pseudo-feminism of how one gender deserves more respect from another by taking real-life examples. Tanvi from BA III shared different perspectives on being woman. She emphasized that women will have to discover and redefine and write new narratives of being woman and feminism. She also cautioned that Feminism should not be seen as anti-men but rather a co-participation of gender in respecting each other with their differences and spaces. Ms Chuskit and Varsha from BA III year highlighted how equality is not an opportunity but a quality of independence and responsibility one holds for himself or herself. Ms Khusboo from BA II year significantly highlighted her perspective through her poetry about the problems women face in society and how strongly they overcome to their hardship. Towards the end all the students significantly pointed out their perspective, it was followed by a healthy discussion where all students merged their collective thoughts on feminism.
