Feminism can be defined as the accumulation of knowledge developed by feminist writers critically against the male dominant information system in order to support the organized struggle of women subject to gender discrimination. Although feminist theoretical production has occurred in the same time frame as the development of sociology, feminist theory remained on the margins of sociology, ignored by the central male formulators of the discipline until the 1970s. According to feminism, all approaches to sociology have been developed by men and/or from a male perspective and the problem of women and gender has been largely neglected in these approaches until the birth of feminist approach to sociology.
