Influence of Buddhism On Feminism in the Modern Society

Abstract

The woman has overcome many problems, obstacles, and barriers to become an important member of society. In the past, women had no rights at all; they were isolated, neglected, and abused by men. With the emergence of feminism, the profile and image of women have changed completely and from a doll in the hands of a man, she has become a queen, president, artist, and teacher. This article examines the wishes, dreams, and ability of women to change their position in society not only as daughters, wives, or mothers but as normal citizens with regular rights and duties. Feminist efforts have been effective in many ways and have brought about a tremendous change in the position and role of women. They succeeded in removing the majority, if not all stereotypical images and giving them more importance in society by giving it political, social, and economic rights.
