What is history? In my eyes, history is a necessary but illusory concept of coherence. And I don’t think it’s possible to talk about the big concept of history with the amount of reading I have now. The concept of history plays an important role in human thought. It cites the concept of human institutions, change, the role of the physical environment in human affairs and the hypothetical meaning of historical events. It raises the possibility of “learning from history.” It presents the possibility of a better understanding of ourselves in the present by understanding the forces, choices and circumstances that adapt us to the current situation.

The hierarchical dichotomy of body versus soul/intellect was seen to parallel the division of the sexes, with women, due to their childbearing functions and menarche, pejoratively associated with corporeality. The mistrust of the flesh extended to mistrust of sexuality; So everyone start to accept this fact even the woman themselves, and I think that’s one of factor of why women don’t have appropriate equal. So it effect the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: The First Wave. After Having achieved suffrage and equality in property rights, feminists after WWII broadened their objectives to tackling discrimination in employment opportunities, pay and education, reproductive rights and the role of women in the family and household. By the late 1980s, the campaign for gender equality entered the ‘third wave’. In response to what was seen as the predominantly ‘white’ and middle class agenda of the second wave, feminists called for greater awareness of the specific equality concerns of other female identities previously marginalized in second wave discourses for gender equality: women from black and minority backgrounds, bisexual, lesbian and transgender women, the ‘postcolonial’ voice and lower social classes.
